Husband making wife pay for household expenses

Q: I want to know if a woman should be doing all the payments for a man while he sends all his money to his family. I know women must assist but not pay for everything while the husband is saving his money for his family. My husband is religious; he reads namaaz 5 x a day. I love him very much. Because I don't have children he takes me for granted to be a slave and support him. Please tell me how how should I approach him without us having a problem. He always tells me that Allah subhanallah is happy with him and no matter how much wrong he do does, his 5 x a day namaaz will get his sins washed away. I don't want to break my marriage.

A: It is wrong of him to ask you to take care of himself and the household. Taking care of the household needs and himself is his fardh duty. He is neglecting his fardh duty. How can Allah Ta`ala love him when his fardh is not done. He is in a state of denial and deception.

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