Is the husband entitled to take the money allocated by the state to his wife and children, knowing that the wife handles most of the children's affairs, and is she permitted to dispose of this money without his permission?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Retirement insurance is not part of the husband's obligatory expenditure. However, health insurance necessary for the wife's treatment is incumbent upon the husband, noting that commercial insurance is prohibited. If the husband spends within reasonable bounds, the wife is not entitled to take anything from his money except with his permission. What the state grants to the wife and children is their right. The father is not obligated to spend on his wealthy children. Any surplus from the children's money after their expenses is their right, and it is not permissible to dispose of it except for their benefit, unless the father is in need. The right to manage the children's money belongs to the father, his guardian, or the ruler.
