IS THE WIFE ENTITLED TO DAILY, WEEKLY AND MONTHLY ALLOWANCE?

Question: After constantly ensuring that our wives are properly fed, can we decide to give them pocket money (a stipend carried on a person for minute daily expenses)?

Dr Sharof: There is no harm about that. Whoever intentionally does a good deed will have a great reward before Allaah. For example, giving your wife monthly allowance, or daily, or weekly; there is no problem about it, but she should be patient whenever you find it difficult to give her. Allaah says, ‘…there is no blame on the good doers’…. You (the wife) should not challenge him if he is unable to make it as at when expected. What work are you doing under him? That is it.
