THE FIQH DEPARTMENT

In the Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful.
Although every Fiqh opinion is based on evidence, often times, the scholars differ in their views. This room for differences is a mercy from Allah, and as long as there is evidence to support an opinion, then we must respect scholars' views, even if we may not always agree.
The Prophet (SAW) said:
"Whoever performs Ijtihad and errs will receive one reward. Whoever performs Ijtihad and arrives at the correct answer gets double the reward"
(Bukhari) 
It is not Allowed for a Husband to Spend the Wife's Wealth PDF Print E-mail
Fiqh: Islamic Jurisprudence - Woman
Written by Abdullah Ibn Jibreen   

Question: Does the husband have the right to object to the fact that I have given my inheritance to my mother? Does he have the right to spend the wealth and salary of the wife?

Response: A wife's wealth is her possession and she has the right to spend it, give it as a gift, give it in charity, pay off loans, give up her right to some money, such as when someone owes her money or her inheritance, to whomsoever she wishes, a relative or non-relative. The husband has no right to object to that as long as she is adult and mature. Her husband has no right to spend her wealth unless she approves of that. If she has a job and receives a salary and the job makes her not fulfill some of his rights, then he could keep her from that job unless she agrees to the condition that they share the salary in return for his allowing her to work and her not fulfilling some of his rights and also in return for him taking her back and forth to work.
