The ruling on a wife taking from her husband's money without his permission and the ruling on a false oath
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This is a woman asking, and she says: I am a woman and my husband is stingy, meaning very miserly. So I took five hundred riyals from him without his knowledge. Then he discovered the loss and asked me, so I denied it because of my fear of him and that he would divorce me. I also swore to him on the oath of the cloth. Is that permissible? And what do you advise me?
Answer:
It is not permissible to take. She does not take from her husband's money except with his permission. This is a matter. One. If he was short with her in the obligatory maintenance, or he returned to his children. And your back. From him and did not. Complete the maintenance, if she finds something of his money, she takes the amount that completes the maintenance, because Hind (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Muslim 1714a and my children, so he said to her (peace and blessings be upon him): Take what suffices you and your children in a customary manner. Take what suffices you; it is not permissible to exceed what is sufficient, and "in a customary manner" means what is customary among people, because maintenance differs: the poor man has a certain maintenance, the rich man has a certain maintenance, and the middle-class man has a certain maintenance, so it is taken in a customary manner, each according to his status. Otherwise, the default is that the husband's money is forbidden, and it is not permissible for the wife to take from it except in this case only. As for her having sworn that she did not take it, this is a lie, and it is not permissible for her to swear. She should seek forgiveness and repent to Allah, and not return to such a thing. This is among the oaths in ambiguity that do not require an expiation, but rather require seeking forgiveness and repentance. Yes.
