Spouses looking in one another’s wallet or purse

09-06-1999

Question 4801

Do I have permission to look in my husband's wallet? Does he have permission to look in my purse.

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen, who replied as follows:

Does the other partner agree to that? If he or she agrees to it, then there is nothing wrong with it, but if he or she does not agree to it, then it is not permissible.

And Allaah knows best.
