A Woman’s Disposition of Her Wealth and the Husband’s Prohibition
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I have money and I want to buy a piece of land with this money, but my husband prevents me from doing so. What is the ruling in this matter? Do I have the right to buy the land with my own money, even if my husband is not pleased?
The Shaykh:
A woman is free in her wealth; her husband’s wealth is not hers to take, and he has no right to restrict her, for this is her wealth,
The questioner:
and she may dispose of it as she sees fit.
The Shaykh:
Her husband has no right to prevent her from doing so. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
