The answer

A mature, sane individual has the right to manage their money through legitimate means. His wife has no right to know what he owns or where he spends it; rather, her right upon him is maintenance according to what is customary. The piety of the wife does not justify her demanding to know all his expenditures or making her consent a condition for them. However, there is no objection to mutual understanding and consultation between the spouses regarding areas of spending.
