The Husband's Permission in Giving Charity from His Money

Question
My sister's financial situation is very bad. Sometimes I take things for her without my husband's permission. Is this permissible? At the same time, I feel upset for my sister and her children, and it's a time of fasting and she doesn't have food for them?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible for you to give her anything from your husband's money, belongings, or food except after seeking permission; because it is his property, and it is not permissible to act upon it without his consent. And God knows best.
