Should a girl guide her mother to give her money to her husband, who is suffering from a debt crisis, knowing that the mother has used this money for the children's needs and home renovation, and that the mother had previously helped the father before disputes arose between them? And is it permissible for the girl to listen to her mother's "true" statements about her father under the guise of "venting"?

If the husband is in need of money, the wife should give him some of it, for he is the most deserving of her kindness and charity, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to Zaynab, the wife of Ibn Mas'ud: "Ibn Mas'ud spoke the truth. Your husband and your child are more deserving of your charity given to them."

As for a daughter listening to her mother's complaints about her father, if it is for consultation, seeking advice, and comfort, then it is permissible.
