The ruling on a wife taking money from her husband
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, her husband is very, very stingy with her and her children, and she has asked him to set aside a sum of money for her at the end of the month. What is the ruling on taking from him without his knowledge? And what is the ruling on a woman asking her husband for a specific amount at the end of the month?
Answer:
If it is as you described, that he is stingy with the maintenance for her and her children, and he has money, then she takes from him what is sufficient for her and her children. For Hind bint 'Utbah (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan is a stingy man. He does not give me what is sufficient for me and my child. He said (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Ibn Majah 2293Sahih (Darussalam)

Take what is sufficient for you and your child, on a reasonable basis.
