What is the ruling on the actions of a wife who daily quarrels with her husband and demands a portion of the rent belonging to his deceased parents, even though it is insufficient for their needs, justifying this by saying, "It is God who said this, and this is your share, and you must take it," and alienates the husband from his family?
If you spend on your wife according to what is customary, then she has no right to force you to claim your share of your father's inheritance. However, if you do not find what to spend on your wife and daughter, and you have a share in the inheritance, then you must claim it to spend on them, for the wife takes precedence in financial support. If you find what to spend on your wife, then spending on your needy mother and siblings is obligatory for you. You should explain to your wife that she has no right to interfere in what you give up for your family, and that she should be kind to his family and be happy with his kindness towards them. And whoever wishes for his provision to be expanded or his lifespan to be extended, let him maintain ties of kinship. What your father left as inheritance is a right for all his heirs, and you have the choice to claim your share or relinquish it.
