Saving Money from the Husband Without His Permission

Question

A woman saved a sum of money from the household expenses without her husband's knowledge, and when the husband found out, his wife said that it was her sister's money, which forced him to call her sister and swear her on her health and the health of her sick brother about the truth of his wife's words. However, the sister is now feeling guilty and is experiencing physical discomfort. What should she do to get out of this predicament?

Answer

I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible for the wife to save from the husband's money without his permission. Moreover, this wife and her sister are not allowed to lie to the husband, so the wife must return the money to the husband; because it is his right, and she should repent with her sister for their sin. And God knows best.
