Is it permissible for a woman to take from her husband's money without his knowledge?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman to take money from her husband's pocket without his knowledge?

Answer:
It is not permissible for her to do so unless she asks for his permission and he grants it, because taking from his pocket without his knowledge is considered betrayal. This is considered betrayal. If she has a need, she should ask him to give her what she needs without taking it without his knowledge. In the case where he does not provide for her and she asks him but he refuses, she may take from his wealth the amount of her maintenance, because Hind came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "Abu Sufyan is a stingy man who does not give me what is sufficient for me and my child." He said (peace and blessings be upon him)
Take what is sufficient for you and your child, on a reasonable basis.خذي ما يكفيك وولدك بالمعروف
Sunan Ibn Majah 2293Sahih (Darussalam)
. However, if he is providing for her and fulfilling his obligation, she should not take from his wealth except with his permission.
