Is it permissible for a wife to take from the money of her miserly husband, who neither gives charity nor pays zakat, without his knowledge, in order to pay zakat from it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The wife should advise her husband and explain to him with wisdom the danger of withholding and encourage him to give charity. It is not permissible to give out zakat on his behalf without his knowledge due to the absence of intention.
