Giving the wife the money she asks for

Q 3: Is it permissible to give my wife money whenever she asks me, or should I only give her money in certain cases? What are these cases? May Allah guide and support you! (Part No. 21; Page No. 159

A: A husband is obligated to provide his wife with Nafaqah (obligatory financial support), clothing, and housing. It is also prescribed for the husband and wife to treat each other well and honorably. This is because Allah (Exalted be He) says: Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allâh has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Allah (Exalted be He) also says: Lodge them (the divorced women) where you dwell, according to your means Allah (Exalted be He) also says: ...and live with them honourably. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Their (your wives') rights upon you are that you should provide them with sustenance and clothing on a reasonable basis." May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
