lol 😂
In Islam, property rights are preserved, even more so than in the west (in my view) but ownership is not absolute. People around you have rights over your wealth also. Your wife, while she is your wife, has claim for food, shelter and clothing, regardless of how good or bad a wife is. While the contract is still valid (and also a short duration after divorce) she has those rights. Children likewise have similar rights and claim over your wealth. Likewise parents who may be financially challenged and other close family relatives. And finally the poor in your community have some rights.
It’s not that “because you own it, you have 100% absolute control and ownership”. You don’t, not under any system, other than the barbaric outbacks of an apocalyptic scene like mad max lol 😂.
Once a woman came to the prophet Muhammad and said “my husband is greedy and doesn’t give me what I need?” And he replied “take your needs when you need it”. It doesn’t mean she can take everything whenever she wants, but if she has basic needs that are not being provided for, she doesn’t have to get permission to take it, even if asking permission is better for a loving coexistence together. Likewise a child doesn’t need to beg for food in order to open the fridge to eat.
Maybe the most that can be said is he can determine which of his wealth they can take, but that doesn’t take away from the fact they have rights over it. Or a portion of it.
