Is it permissible for me to prevent my wife from completing her business, after I gave her money for trading and she mistreated me?
If the husband gifts money to his wife as a donation (hiba) and she takes possession of it, then he is not permitted to retract his gift. If the wife owns this money and invests it in trade, the husband does not have the right to prevent her from doing so. However, he can prevent her from leaving their home and obligate her to fulfill her marital duties. She is permitted to buy and sell within the house, from behind a veil, without needing her husband's permission.
