The ruling on a husband taking from his wife's salary as a teacher
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, who used the letter alif as a code for his name, says: If a man marries a schoolteacher, does he have the right to take from her salary, with her consent, for the sake of need and benefit, or is that exclusively hers?
Answer:
Her maintenance is his responsibility, as is the maintenance of the children. However, if he married her on the condition that she would allow him access to her job and give him from her salary, the condition must be fulfilled; it is obligatory for her to do so, and the condition makes it so. But if he married her without such a condition, he does not take from her except what she voluntarily allows him to have.
