I would be really upset if my husband refused my help while we were struggling financially. Id also feel useless.

The fact that its the mans duty to provide for the family shouldnt mean he cant get help from his wife. Besides, why should his pride/ego affect him looking after his family?

Ideally I think it would be best if both husband and wife discuss the matter and then make a decision, he shouldnt expect her to watch him struggle while she has enough money to help! Also the fact that he discusses it with her should make them feel much less embarrassed/shameful or whatever else they might be feeling about it. .

If he feels really bad about taking it, he should offer to help out with other stuff, like housework, babysitting, at least that way he will feel like hes earning it.
 
Making money in the family is mandatory for the husband, and allowable for the wife. This is what Ulama in my place said.

So, is the wife allowed to contribute financially ?. .... Why not !
 
I read last few post.Mostly discussion is on wife supporting because of financial need.
What Islam says about girls doing job.If she is Educated.but she don't have any financial burden to do it.she is doing just to utilize her knowledge.
And of-course earning on your own is different then if someone I mean husband is giving money is different .
