Taking money from one's husband without his permission

Q: I have a good relationship with my husband. He keeps money in his cupboard, at times I take a little, is this stealing? Do I owe it back to him?

A: If the husband does not mind then it is alright. If he minds and he is seeing to all your needs then this is stealing. You will need to pay him back.

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