Question
Is it incumbent to give a wife a monthly allowance?
Answer
A monthly allowance for the wife is not Waajib. Her nafqah (maintenance) is Waajib. Nevertheless, the Akaabir Ulama, especially Hadhrat Thanvi (Rahmatullah alayh) emphasized the moral need to give her an allowance. This is to keep her happy.
