The ruling on a wife taking from her husband's money without his knowledge for cosmetic purposes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on a wife taking from her husband's money without his knowledge for cosmetic purposes, given that he provides her with sufficient maintenance, and if she has his permission?
The Shaykh:
If the husband does not object and is lenient with her, there is no harm. But if he forbids it, it is not permissible for her to do so except with his permission, except for a small amount, such as giving to a beggar or the like; this does not require permission. However, a large amount requires the husband's permission, unless she knows he is fine with it or he has given her general permission, in which case there is no harm. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: And if she has committed a sin, what is required of her regarding what she took previously?
The Shaykh:
She should seek his forgiveness for it. If he demands compensation, this is referred to the court. Yes.
