Taking from a husband's money without his knowledge if he falls short in maintenance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a woman married to an older man, and she says that he does not give her what is sufficient for her. Is it permissible for her to take from his money without his knowledge, given that he is a wealthy man? And if she takes and feels that she has taken, does she deny that she took?
Answer:
To avoid disagreement and conflict, she should seek his permission and ask him for her needs. She should ask him for her needs, because perhaps he is unaware of them, or perhaps he is being lenient in this matter. If she asks him, he will give it to her, and the dispute will end. If she asks him and he does not give her what she needs,
then she should resort to sending someone to him to order him to give her what she needs, such as one of his relatives or friends, who will intercede for her with him. Understanding is required; understanding is undoubtedly required as much as possible. If the matter escalates and mediation does not help, then it is necessary to file a case against him before the judge, if the matter requires it and the deficiency is significant. However, if the deficiency is minor or consists of supplementary items, she should be patient with it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
