What are a wife's rights regarding her furnishings, her deferred dower (mu'akhkhar), and her consolation gift (mut'ah)? And is it considered theft if she sold her daughters' gold, which she did not own, in addition to selling the wedding set (shabka), which is customarily not considered her property?

If the prevailing custom is that the shabakah (engagement gift) is the husband's property, and it is merely a loan to the wife, then she is not permitted to dispose of it without his permission. A mother selling her daughters' gold is permissible with their consent, and not permissible without their consent except in cases of necessity (food, drink, medical treatment, housing). The rights of the divorced woman have been detailed in previous fatwas. The husband is advised to try to mend the marital relationship and not succumb to the whispers of Satan.
