Question
A lady was given a special allowance by her husband; is it permissible for her to give charity from it without his knowledge?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Her ownership of it is such that she can do with it as she wishes, and if he knows that she is giving it in charity and does not get angry, then it is permissible for her. However, if he gave it to her only for her own spending, then it is not permissible to give it in charity. And God knows best.
