Summary
A wife without income can still give charity in several ways. One is giving cooked food to needy neighbours and poor relatives, after ensuring her husband and family have eaten. The husband may also provide her with an allowance for charity, or she may set aside part of her monthly maintenance money for giving.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Banyak cara boleh dilakukan oleh si isteri seperti bersedekah dengan memberikan makanan yang dimasak kepada orang yang memerlukan seperti jiran dan kaum kerabat yang miskin
