The Ruling on Taking the Wife's Salary

The Ruling on Taking the Wife's Salary


Question :

If I married a young woman who is a teacher, do I have the right to take her salary with her agreement in case of need, and for her benefit, such as for building a house, and I do not give her any document for what I have taken, nor does she request one-bearing in mind that I work and receive a monthly salary?


Answer:

There is no sin upon you in taking your wife's salary with her agreement, if she is a legal adult. Likewise, everything she pays to you falls into the category of assistance, and there is no sin upon you in taking it, if she is happy to do it and she is a legal adult. This is in accordance with the words of Allah, the Almighty, the All-Powerful:
but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, take it, and enjoy it without fear of any harm (as Allah has made it lawful".
even if it is without any document; but if you gave her a document, it would be more prudent, if you fear something from her family and her relatives, or you fear that she will ask for its return.
