Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Is there a hadith that a woman cannot give away from her wealth without her husband's permission?
The Shaykh : This is either abrogated, or it is on the basis of recommendation, or it is to be understood as referring to wealth that he buys for her to adorn herself with.
The questioner : From her wealth? The correct view is from her wealth.
The Shaykh : Yes, he gives her from her wealth; it is not a loan. He gave it to her as her property, and she inherits it after him, but for her to adorn herself with it, such as jewelry, for example. If he bought her jewelry to adorn herself with, it may be said that it is not permissible for her to sell any of it or give it away without his permission, because if she sold it, she would deprive him of enjoying the adornment, or necessitate that he buy it for her again.
