Is it permissible to take the value of the gold crafts stolen by the wife from her father, knowing that the theft was not for the purpose of spending?

Issues of disputes are not resolved by fatwas; they are settled by the Shariah judiciary or by someone accepted by the parties to the dispute. Generally, a wife is entrusted with her husband’s money, and it is not permissible for her to take anything from it without his permission, except if he refrains from providing the obligatory maintenance, in which case she may take what is sufficient according to what is customary. If she takes something unjustly, he has the right to demand its return, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The hand is responsible for what it takes until it returns it." The wife’s father is not responsible for her actions, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "No perpetrator commits a crime but against himself." If the wife’s father volunteers to pay the value of what she took, there is no harm in that.
