How sound is the Hadith: "It is not permissible for a woman to dispose of anything from her wealth except with her husband's permission"? Is it correct to attribute Al-Albani's weakening of it to him, despite his statement that it has supporting evidences? Does the husband have guardianship over his wife's wealth that prevents her from disposing of it through spending, giving charity, or engaging in trade? And what is the meaning of "tanhtak" (dispose of)?

The scholars have differed regarding the authenticity of the : "It is not permissible for a woman to squander anything of her wealth except with her husband's permission." The meaning of "tan'tak" (تنتهك) here is "to squander" or "to waste."
