Is a sister sinful if she uses her brother's wife's belongings without her knowledge?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The default rule is that it is not permissible to use others' belongings without their permission. If your brother's wife has given your sister permission to use her things, whether explicitly or by common custom, then there is no harm in your sister using them. However, if she has not given permission, then it is not permissible.
