Using one's husband's money to spend on one's parents

Question

I would like to ask if I take money from my husband without him knowing, to spend on my parents, is this allowed?

Answer

If your husband gives you permission to spend on your parents from his wealth, then it will be permissible. However, if he does not give you permission, then it will not be permissible for you to spend on them from his wealth. You should spend on them from your own wealth.

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