Question
A woman has gold that belongs to her, and her husband does not allow her to pay its Zakat. Is it permissible for her to pay its Zakat without her husband's knowledge?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: She is allowed to manage her money without her husband's knowledge; because it is her right, and zakat is obligatory upon her, and it takes precedence over the husband's right, and God knows best.
