What is the ruling on a wife who lent money from her husband's estate to her daughter's fiancé without his knowledge, and the husband died without her having informed him of this?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible for the wife to take her husband's money unless with his explicit or customary permission. If she does so without his knowledge and consent, she must repent, and this money will be included in the inheritance and distributed among the heirs.
