Is a wife obligated to give her husband from her earnings?

· 12 Rajab 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

My husband is very good. He is earning and I am working as well. But instead of giving me, he is always asking me for money. If I keep on giving him, he is fine otherwise there is heated arguments. What should I do? I have not saved any money.

Answer

You have no obligation to give him any part of your wealth.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
