Q: I am currently working for my father whereby I am in a secluded office doing his book work. For this I earn a wage. My husband also earns a reasonable wage and my question is:
1. Should I, as the wife, pay for household necessities and groceries or is it the duty of my husband? Please bear in mind that my husband and I are newly married and I have not had the confidence to bring up money matters with him as yet.
2. How do I go about discussing this with him in a sensible manner?
A:
1. The household expenses are the duty of the husband.
2. If you find him in a good mood then very discreetly touch the subject.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
