Question
Can a husband who is not the breadwinner use the money his wife earns to buy himself small things like falafel or pizza, not regularly but in times of crisis, even without her knowledge, especially if she is strict about it? It is assumed she will never find out.
Answer
Hello,
A husband is permitted to use the money earned by his wife.
The money belongs to the husband as well, unless they have explicitly agreed that the money she earns will belong solely to her.
