Spouses looking in one another’s wallet or purse

 

Do I have permission to look in my
husband's wallet? Does he have permission to look in my purse.

Praise be to Allaah.

We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih
al’-Uthaymeen, who replied as follows:

Does the other partner agree to that? If he or she agrees to it, then
there is nothing wrong with it, but if he or she does not agree to it, then it is not
permissible.

And Allaah knows best.
