Buying from Household Allocations Without the Husband's Permission
A wife has the freedom to manage the monthly household budget, and she and the children want to buy some ready-made food, but the husband refuses this idea. They proceed to buy it without his knowledge while he is asleep, covering the cost of the food from the household allocations. However, she feels guilty because he is not sharing the food with them. Is she sinful for this action?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible for her to handle the husband's money in ways he does not permit, and she is at risk of sinning by this action. God knows best.
