The ruling on taking money from one's husband for charity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, she asks: Is it permissible for me to take from my husband's money without his knowledge to give zakah and charity?

Answer:
Do not take from your husband's money except with his permission, except for things in which leniency is customary, such as giving a beggar a small amount. Leniency is permitted in such cases. However, if she gives charity and spends sums of money without her husband's permission, this is not permissible, because she is a guardian of her husband's money, a guardian of her home, and responsible for her guardianship. Yes.
