Question:
Does the husband have the right to intervene and control his wife's salary? And what is your advice to husbands who prevent their wives from giving assistance to their relatives on the pretext that they are not in need of assistance?
Answer:
A woman's salary is like her wealth; it is her property. It is not permissible [to take it] except with her willing consent. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan ad-Daraqutni 13:78 with his willing consent. And Allah the Exalted said regarding the mahr of women: [An-Nisa 4:4] If you are pleased with some of it, accept it with a willing heart, and eat it with ease and comfort. So a woman's wealth is her property; it is not permissible to take it except with her consent and willing heart, neither by her husband nor by anyone else, unless there was a condition between the spouses at the time of the marriage contract that the husband has a right to the salary she earns from her job. Muslims are bound by their conditions, so it is obligatory for her to fulfill this condition. Yes.
