The ruling on a woman taking from her husband's money
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a woman has money, but she does not want to spend from her money, so she steals from her husband's money, what is the ruling on her doing this?
Answer:
She has money and does not spend from it on herself. Her maintenance is the obligation of her husband without doubt. Her housing, clothing, food, and drink are the responsibility of her husband. As for what exceeds that, it is from her own money. She does not take from her husband anything she takes from him except what is obligatory, which is her maintenance, unless he is willing to give it, in which case there is no harm. The obligatory things for her from her husband are four: housing befitting her, clothing befitting her, maintenance befitting her, and spending the night with her one night out of four. This is what is obligatory for her. And what exceeds that, she spends from her own money if she has money, or she asks her husband, or he gives it to her out of generosity and good conduct. Yes.
