The ruling on a woman taking from her husband's money without his knowledge

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, is it permissible for me to take from my husband's money without his knowledge, knowing that my husband does not give me any allowance?

Answer:
If you are lacking in maintenance, the necessary maintenance, not luxuries, but the essential maintenance is lacking for you, and you know that he has money, then take what is sufficient for you. For Hind bint 'Utbah (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "My husband, Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him), was a stingy man who did not give me what was sufficient for me and my child." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Take what is sufficient for you and your child, on a reasonable basis.خذي ما يكفيك وولدك بالمعروف.
Sunan Ibn Majah 2293Sahih (Darussalam)
Yes.
