Q: I would like to know what portion of the husbands salary is the wife entitled to if the husband earns R40 000 after his taxes. The husband pays for all the household expenses. Apart from the normal household expenses is the wife entitled to her personal expenses from her husband. I hope this question is clear and I thank you in advance for your effort in this matter.
Q: Asalaamu Alaykum. I am married for 5 years, for the first three years, I would receive an allowance from my husband. Now for almost two years, he doesn't give me a cent, and always complains that he has many debts to pay. I feel that the debts are his own doing and that I am being cheated off my allowance so that he can pay his debts. It gets so bad sometimes that if I need a little money, I have to borrow from the neighbour as he sternly refuses to give me money for myself. With regards to groceries, he buys the necessary items. But I'm talking about money for my personal use. Is it right for him to do this?
