Is it permissible to sell a bracelet owned prior to marriage to help one's mother, with the husband's approval, which was then followed by his statement that the belongings are not the wife's property and she may not dispose of them except with his consent?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A woman's money is her own property, and she is permitted to dispose of it through charity or gifts to her mother or others, whether the money was acquired before or after marriage, without needing her husband's consent. However, it is advisable to consult with him. If the mother is poor and has no husband, then her maintenance is obligatory upon her capable children, including the married woman.
