It is not permissible for a wife to take anything from her husband's money without his permission, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "The wealth of a Muslim is not lawful except with his willing consent." The husband should also bestow gifts upon his wife, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Exchange gifts, and you will love one another."
