Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The third question of the fatwa number ( 9258 )
Q 3: Is it permissible to give my wife money whenever she asks me, or only in certain cases? What are these cases? May Allah grant you success and care for you.
A 3: The wife’s maintenance, clothing, and housing are obligatory upon the husband, and good treatment and doing what is right between the spouses are required by the Shari'ah; because of the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth.الرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَبِمَا أَنْفَقُوا مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ
[An-Nisa 4:34]
the verse, and His saying:
Lodge them [in a section] of where you dwell out of your meansأَسْكِنُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ سَكَنْتُمْ مِنْ وُجْدِكُمْ
[At-Talaq 65:6]
, and His saying:
And live with them in kindnessوَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ

You are responsible for providing them with food and clothing in a fitting mannerولهـن عليكـم رزقهـن وكسوتهن بالمعروف
