Wife’s right to spend from her own income
Asalaam alikum.I am an Islamic revert working full time, and pay (willingly) for the upkeep of the house, all household expenses, and the education of our 2 dau ghters. My husband is using his income for investments in both our names. My husband has become extremely angry with me for purchasing a gift for myself from my earnings (a camera). He says I do not have the right to spend this money without his authority and insists that I return it to the store. I was of the impression that I could spend my earnings as I pleased without having to gain his approval. Have I misunderstood the woman's rights in marriage in this regard?
