Is it permissible to sell a piece of gold to the financially distressed brother without the husband's knowledge, on the condition that the brother repays the value of the gold later?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the gold is entirely your property, it is permissible to sell it and lend its price to your brother without your husband's knowledge, because a mature woman has the right to dispose of her wealth without her husband's permission. However, selling the gold itself to him on a deferred payment basis is not permissible.
