Question: My husband does not give me an allowance—neither for me nor for my children. We sometimes take from him without his knowledge. Is there a sin on me?
Answer: It is permissible for a woman to take from her husband's money without his knowledge what she and her minor children need, in a reasonable manner, without extravagance or waste, if he does not give her what is sufficient for her. This is based on what is established in the two Sahihs from 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that Hind bint 'Utbah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "O Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan does not give me what is sufficient for me and my children." He said (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 1714a. And success is from Allah.

Take from his property what is customary which may suffice you and your children.
