The answer

It is not permissible for a husband to seize his wife's money by force, embarrassment, or procrastination, as this constitutes consuming people's wealth unlawfully. A Muslim's wealth is not permissible except with their willing consent. If the wife is unable to retrieve her money with the husband's knowledge and consent, it is permissible for her to take the equivalent of her right without his knowledge.
