Is it considered disobedience for a woman to give charity from her own money without her husband's consent?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding a wife not obeying her husband in spending from her own money, is this considered disobedience by the wife to her husband?
The Shaykh : She is not spending from her money. First, is she wealthy?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And second, is the husband poor?
The questioner : No, his situation is also good.
The Shaykh : It is not considered disobedience, except in the case where the husband is poor and she does not spend at least what is obligatory upon her from the zakah of her money; in that case, she is undoubtedly not obedient to her husband. But if she and he are both wealthy and affluent, she owes nothing, but that is not good conduct in the marriage, though there is no sin in it.
The questioner : Even if the direction is followed by a direction opposite to the religious direction, trading in money, trading in forbidden things, meaning in ribawi funds... He wants to exploit the money in the field of riba and not in trade?
The Shaykh : Excuse me, I did not understand?
The questioner : I mean, he asks her to spend and exploit her money in a ribawi exploitation, and she opposes this matter?
The Shaykh : No, she must oppose him, because here his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) applies exactly:Mishkat al-Masabih 3696 So it is not permissible for her to obey him in this way.

A creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to the "Creator.”
