Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We are concluding this episode, may Allah bless you, with this question, in which the questioner says: My husband does not give me or my children any allowance, and we sometimes take from him without his knowledge. Is there a sin on us?

Answer:
There is no sin on you. If you take what you need, there is no sin on you, because Hind (may Allah be pleased with her), Hind bint 'Utbah (may Allah be pleased with her), came to the Prophet
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: Abu Sufyan is a miserly person. He does not give adequate maintenance for meصلى الله عليه وسلم فقالت يا رسول الله إن أبا سفيان رجل شحيح لا يعطيني ما يكفيني
Sahih Muslim 1714a
and my children, he said (peace and blessings be upon him)
Take what is sufficient for you and your child, on a reasonable basis.خذي ما يكفيك وولدك بالمعروف.
Sunan Ibn Majah 2293Sahih (Darussalam)
