Nafaqah
Nafaqah (Arabic: نَفَقَة) is the Islamic legal term for the financial support a husband must provide for his wife or wives. In an Islamic marriage agreement, the husband is responsible to pay for his wife's housing, food and clothing. Any money the wife earns is hers to do with as she wishes.
