Husband taking care of the expenses of the house
Question
My husband gives me R1000 a month just for groceries and at the end of the month I give him R1000 to pay for our water account, is that right? He doesn't give me any other money.
Answer
It is the husband's duty to take care of the expenses of the house, water, lights, etc.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
