Taking a wife’s share from her husband’s wealth without his knowledge

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this is a woman asking, and she says: Is it permissible for a woman to take from her husband’s wealth without his knowledge if she needs it?

Answer:
If he prevents her and does not give her, and she gets hold of his wealth, she takes from it the amount sufficient for her needs. A woman asked one of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who was Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him), saying: He is a stingy man who does not give me what is sufficient for me and my child, so . Yes. This is the issue of seizing, which they call the issue of seizing: if you have a right with someone and he refuses to fulfill it for you, and you get hold of his wealth, you take the amount of your right. Yes.
