Husband asking the wife to pay towards purchasing the child's nappies
Question
My son is 3 years 5 months. My husband is telling me to potty train for few months. I am not training him due to the fact that I trained my first one at this age and he messed napaak everywhere. I told my husband I will try this month to train him and he told me if his not trained then I will have to pay a portion for his nappies. I feel very hurt as he buys vape and uses which is a high expense too. I want to know is this Islamically correct for him to tell me that I should contribute?
Answer
It is not right for your husband to ask you to pay for your child's nappies. This is part of his responsibilities.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
