Question:
This questioner says: A woman takes from her husband, and from his clothing, without his knowledge, an amount that does not exceed ten to fifty riyals. What is the ruling on taking this small amount of money?
Answer:
She should ask his permission, and that is better and more complete, unless he is short in her maintenance, meaning he does not give her what is sufficient for her and her children.

The saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to Hind bint 'UtbahSunan Ibn Majah 2293Sahih (Darussalam) from her husband's wealth, because he was short with her. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
