Do the alms given from a husband's money during his coma, in addition to his other good deeds such as performing prayers, reciting the Qur'an, and honoring his parents, indicate a good end for him?
What is mentioned about the deceased regarding their deeds and people's testimony of their goodness is an indication and proof of a good ending, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "You are Allah's witnesses on earth," and his saying: "When Allah intends good for a servant, He employs him." They said: "How does He employ him?" He said: "He enables him to perform a righteous deed before his death."
As for a wife's charity from her husband's money without causing spoilage, it is permissible and the husband receives its reward, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "If a woman spends from her husband's house without causing spoilage, she will have her reward, and he will have a similar reward for what he earned, and she will have a reward for what she spent, and the treasurer will have a similar reward, without diminishing any of their rewards." It is stipulated that this spending should be within customary limits and what is known to have the husband's approval.
