The ruling on taking a wife's gold with her consent to pay off a debt, then compensating her
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I am a man with a debt, and sometimes circumstances arise that compel me to use my wife's gold to meet our needs with her consent. Then, when I receive my salary, I buy her gold in place of the first. The question is: Is there any sin on me for that?
Answer:
Allah the Exalted says in His Noble Book:[An-Nisa 4:4]. If she is pleased with something from her wealth and she is of sound mind, there is no harm. If she allows you to sell her gold or anything else, and then you return the price to her, or buy for her something else that pleases her, there is no harm. This comes down to mutual consent; if she is of sound mind and consents, there is no harm, and praise be to Allah. Yes.

May Allah reward you with good,
