Using the wealth of someone who does not pay zakaat
Question
My husband does not pay zakah on his savings even after reminders that it is a fardh and the punishment of not fulfilling this fardh. My question is that he gives me momey for the maintenance of the house and for my needs and that of our children, is it sinful for me to use his money? I do fear that him not paying his zakah may bring a calamity (Allah Ta'ala forbid) on our family.
Answer
No.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
