The husband must earn and provide for the family. However, if the wife is earning more than the husband and he is unable to financially provide for the household, it is permissible for her to lend him money to cover expenses if she is comfortable doing so and they both agree on the terms of repayment. However, it will be much better if the wife contributes to the household costs rather than giving it to the husband as a loan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allah <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(\u0639\u0632 \u0648 \u062c\u0644) <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">knows best.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Written by Alimah Jannatun Nessa<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Checked and approved by Mufti Mohammed Tosir Miah<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Darul Ifta Birmingham<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">[Surah 30: Verse 21]<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">\u0648\u064e\u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0627\u0670\u06cc\u0670\u062a\u0650\u0647\u0656\u06e4 \u0627\u064e\u0646\u0652 \u062e\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0642\u064e \u0644\u064e\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0645\u0650\u0651\u0646\u0652 \u0627\u064e\u0646\u0652\u0641\u064f\u0633\u0650\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0627\u064e\u0632\u0652\u0648\u064e\u0627\u062c\u064b\u0627 \u0644\u0650\u0651\u062a\u064e\u0633\u0652\u0643\u064f\u0646\u064f\u0648\u0652\u06e4\u0627 \u0627\u0650\u0644\u064e\u06cc\u0652\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0648\u064e\u062c\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e \u0628\u064e\u06cc\u0652\u0646\u064e\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0645\u064e\u0651\u0648\u064e\u062f\u064e\u0651\u0629\u064b \u0648\u064e\u0651\u0631\u064e\u062d\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0629\u064b \u0615 \u0627\u0650\u0646\u064e\u0651 \u0641\u0650\u06cc\u0652 \u0630\u0670\u0644\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0644\u064e\u0627\u0670\u06cc\u0670\u062a\u064d \u0644\u0650\u0651\u0642\u064e\u0648\u0652\u0645\u064d \u06cc\u064e\u0651\u062a\u064e\u0641\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0651\u0631\u064f\u0648\u0652\u0646\u064e \u06df<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">And one of His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves so that you may find comfort in them.
