Is it permissible to pay off a debt before marriage—a sum of 20,000 pounds from orphans' money—using the husband's money without his knowledge, considering that he has given her freedom to dispose of his money?

It is not permissible for a woman to dispose of her husband's money except with his explicit permission. If he permits her to take whatever she wants from his money, then it is permissible for her to pay off her debt from it. However, if he restricts her permission to specific matters, then she must explicitly inform him of what she wants or what she has taken.
