The ruling on a wife giving away her clothes without her husband's knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Our sister says: A wife sometimes gives away her clothes and her children's clothes as charity without her husband's knowledge. Is she sinful for doing so? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If she and her children no longer need these clothes, there is nothing wrong with giving them away as charity, provided they are of use to the poor. However, if they still need them and the clothes are in good condition for use, she must have her husband's permission. This is because these are among the assets that may not be given away without the husband's permission, as they are his property, and it is not permissible to do so without his consent.
