I want to build a mosque with my own money. Am I required to inform my husband about it, knowing that he will refuse, or should I inform him and build it even if he does not agree?

Question:

Answer:
If the money is your own property, you have the right to dispose of it even if your husband does not give you permission. However, consulting with him to please him is better. As for your right to dispose of your money in building a mosque or anything else, he has no right to object to it, and it is not permissible for him to object; because a person disposes of his own money. But from the perspective of good conduct and mutual understanding, your saying that you will consult him to please him is better. And if he prevents you, he has no right to do so. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
