Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A wife is not permitted to dispose of her husband's property except with his explicit or implicit permission. An exception to this is if the husband falls short in providing the obligatory maintenance; in such a case, she may take what suffices her and her child according to what is customary.
