The answer

It is permissible for an heir to waive some of their right in favor of the deceased's other heirs. Similarly, a woman may dispose of her wealth without her husband's permission, according to the preponderant opinion. This is based on the generality of Allah's Almighty saying: "{And if you perceive from them sound judgment, then release to them their property}" (Quran 4:6). Also, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded women to give charity and did not inquire whether they had husbands or not. Furthermore, a woman is competent to dispose of her property, and her husband has no right to her wealth.
