"What is the ruling on a wife selling her husband's gold in secret, and what are her rights after divorce if she does that? "

Praise be to Allah, the gold that the husband bought for his wife as a dowry or gift becomes her possession to do with as she wishes. Selling it without his knowledge is not considered betrayal, disobedience, nor does it require him to divorce her. We advise the husband to take back his wife and hold her honorably to maintain the family. It would have been better for the wife to inform her husband before selling to avoid problems, but this is not obligatory. If he divorces her, she has all her rights, and he must provide financial support for the children.
