The Ruling on the Money Given by the Husband to His Wife as Personal Spending
Does a woman have the freedom to dispose of the money that her husband gives her as personal spending if it exceeds her needs, such as giving it as charity, knowing that the husband refuses this?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The personal allowance given to the wife remains a right of the husband and she does not own it completely; because its purpose is for her to spend it on some expenses related to her that are obligatory on the husband. Therefore, it is not permissible for her to give it as charity except with his permission, and God knows best.
