Ruling on a woman giving charity from her husband's wealth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q218: The questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman to give charity from her own wealth
to the deceased without her husband's knowledge? And what is the ruling if the charity is from her husband's wealth?
A218: It is permissible for a woman to give charity from her own wealth to the deceased, for the sake of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), so that its benefit reaches them; because she disposes of her wealth as she is free to do with her wealth in what Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has prescribed, a righteous deed whose reward reaches the one for whom she gives charity, and there is no harm in that. As for giving charity from her husband's wealth, this is subject to detail: if her husband does not prevent it, and she knows from her husband that he does not prevent it, then there is no harm in it. But if her husband prevents it and does not give her permission, then it is not permissible for her to give charity from it, even if he is wealthy. If he prevents her from it and does not give her permission, then she does not give charity from it. But if he gives her permission, or if she knows that he does not prevent it and that he is pleased with it, then there is no harm in her giving charity from his wealth to the extent that is customary.
