The ruling on a woman giving charity from her husband's wealth without his permission
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A woman gives charity from her husband's wealth. When he found out, he said, "I do not allow you to do so." She spoke to him about the zakah of his wealth, saying that this was part of the zakah of his wealth, but he refused strongly. What is the ruling in this matter?
Answer:
She should not give charity from his wealth. If he refuses, she should not give charity except with what he permits. She should not give charity with what he does not permit. However, if they agree, they are partners in the reward. If he permits it, she is a partner; he has his reward for what he earned, and she has her reward for helping with the expenses. The servant who manages the household is also a partner if they agree on this. But if he forbids her, she should not give charity from any of his wealth except with what is customary to give as charity with his permission, such as surplus food, surplus lunch, or surplus dinner, which is customary for him to permit.
As for something he does not permit, she should not give charity with it. She must obey him and listen to him, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan an-Nasa'i 2540Hasan (Darussalam) meaning from his wealth. However, there is no harm in her advising him, saying, "So-and-so, this is good, and this is cooperation in righteousness and piety. Perhaps you will permit me, or you can specify a limit. You can say to him, 'Allow me to give charity every day of ten... or twenty, or to give charity with some food.' She should agree with him on something using a good manner and kind words, so that perhaps Allah will guide him to permit it. If he insists and does not permit it, she has no right to give charity from his wealth with anything, but she can give charity from her own wealth. Yes.
