Silsilah as-Sahihah 1465 — Wife spending without husband’s permission

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a man becomes the owner of a woman (through marriage), it is not permissible for her to give a gift (to anyone) without her husband's permission."

Husayn bin Mihsan narrates from his paternal aunt, whose name is mentioned as Asma, that she went to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) for some need. The Prophet (peace be upon him) fulfilled her need and asked: "Are you married?" She replied: "Yes." The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: "How do you treat (your husband)?" She said: "I do not fall short in his right, except in what is beyond my ability." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "See how you are with him, for he is your Paradise and he is your Hell."
