Al-Fatwa House on Spouse's Financial Rights
The Egyptian Dar Al-Iftaa clarified that a wife's finances, including her salary and inheritance, are her own property and remain under her independent financial custody. They do not automatically transfer to the husband upon marriage. Marriage does not merge or transfer ownership of one party's assets to the other; there must be a legitimate reason or an official agreement for the husband to have the right to dispose of his wife's money. Additionally, it was emphasized that the dowry (mahr) is a fixed financial right of the wife and cannot be waived by the husband without her consent. Islamic and judicial rulings confirm that the ownership of assets remains independent of the marriage contract.
