Husband's right over his wife's salary
Question
How much right does a man have over his wife's salary which she earns?
Answer
He does not have any right in her salary. It is the husband's duty to provide a home, food and clothing. If the husband is not doing this then he is failing in his basic duty.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
