Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman’s husband takes two thousand riyals from her salary every month against her will, claiming that he wants to spend on the household expenses. She is not happy with it, but she is patient for fear that he will divorce her and scatter her children. The question is: What is the ruling on the husband taking this money in this manner?
Answer:
If he made this a condition on her, saying, “I do not allow you to study unless I take this amount,” and she agreed to it, then they are bound by his conditions. But if he did not make that a condition on her, then he has no right to it except with her willing consent. Yes.
