Is it permissible to divorce one's wife because she took money without her husband's knowledge, and what are her rights after the divorce?
If a husband provides sufficiently and appropriately for his wife, it is not permissible for her to take from his wealth without his consent, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The wealth of a person is not lawful except with his willing consent." A righteous wife safeguards her husband in his wealth and herself. Divorce is permissible but disliked unless there is a need for it, and it is not advisable to rush into it due to its negative consequences. She should be advised in the best manner and supplicated for, and wealth should be preserved. If he divorces her, she is entitled to all the rights of a divorced woman.
