The ruling on giving a wife from the zakah if her husband is stingy with financial maintenance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A man is stingy with his wife and does not spend on her. Is she given from the zakah? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
No, do not be deceived.
The questioner:
With you, O Lord.
The Shaykh:
And do not believe it.
The questioner:
And not Professor Hamad.
The Shaykh:
Unless she complains to a judge, there is no authentic Sunnah of complaining to the court,
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
She raises her matter, and no guardian raises it for her; because it may bring about much benefit.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
They write saying he does not give us, he does not give us.
