@Morris_Monye Yes sir, it's very possible. Some are forced to open an Opay account because their friend(s) saw their name and sent money. Many people had been complaining about it for a while.
The position of Islam is that a must provide for his family. Emphasis on must because there is no excuse. You must take care of your own family, your parents and immediate family (wife and children) being priority. However, does this position now means women must not support their if they can? The answer is No. Islam is not against a woman supporting her husband, most especially if she can afford to do so and her husband is still struggling.
If you see women saying they canβt help a man pay school fee or support him, the problem is more cultural and in some aspects religious. Many of our women grew up learning that concept from their mothers, and they watched their fathers take all responsibilities without any form of support from their wives. So, only the very few who grew up in families where husbands and wives support each other tend to have a different perspective.
Muslim ladies are extreme in this regard, and Islamic preachers are not helping matters either. You will hear some of them constantly saying that a man is supposed to carry 100% of the financial responsibilities, yet they barely talk about how Islam does not prohibit a woman from supporting her husband if she has the ability to do so.
In fact, some of them have made it seem as though a woman helping or supporting her husband financially is a bad omen. They make it look Haram. They rarely preach to these young ladies that the Prophet himself received support from his wife, Khadijah. Khadijah literally married the Prophet when he had little materially. They lived comfortably largely through Khadijahβs support. Anyone who disagrees should point out what business or job the Prophet did at that time that could surpass Khadijahβs wealth, and also provide evidence showing that Khadijah stopped supporting him and that they lived solely on the Prophetβs income despite her being wealthier.
Marriage should be built on compassion, mercy, and kindness. It is a partnership between two adults. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a woman contributing to the family if she is capable of doing so. It is not haram. No hadith prohibits it. It is not a bad omen. It is simply human nature to help someone you love. Yes, any man who is capable of providing 100% is reasonably expected to do so. In fact, as a man, if you are wealthy enough, there is no need to stress your wife financially. However, at the same time, a Muslim man who is still struggling deserves a kind and supportive partner.
Muslim women need to stop being selfish while hiding under the phrase, βMy money is my money, and my husbandβs money is our money.β There is a difference between understanding oneβs rights and being unnecessarily wicked or inconsiderate. If a woman truly loves her husband, she will not comfortably watch him struggle financially while carrying every burden alone. Scholars also need to be more honest and balanced when explaining Islamic principles. They should stop discussing the rights of husbands and wives without emphasizing that kindness, compassion, mercy, and mutual support are what truly sustain a successful marriage.
Thank you.
