Answer

# 1(a). If your husband is fulfilling all your needs, it will not be permissible to take money from his pockets without asking. Perhaps he is not aware that you need extra money, in which case we will advise you to talk to him about your need, or talk to an elder in the family who may explain your situation to him. (b). What is your husband's reaction when you tell him that you will take money from his pocket or when he sees the accessories/ clothes which you have bought? This will give you an idea if he is OK with it or not. We will advise you to let him know when you have used money from his pocket, example, "I used ten dollars/rupees today for such and such thing". It is only permissible to take from his pocket when the husband has such extreme temper and character that one cannot even talk to him on any issue, and when your basic needs are not met. So, like we mentioned that if you can talk about it and keep the communication open, it would be the best solution. We hope that this clarifies the answer for you. # 2. Is wearing burqa (Hijab and Niqab) is compulsory in Islam or one can just cover her hair completely? Please refer to a detailed answer on this topic on the "questions and answer page" of this website. [Editor's note: Reference to question on Hijab: Is wearing the niqaab (covering the face) necessary? ] # 3. It is best to offer Isha salaah in the first portion of the night and tahajjud salaah in the last portion of the night. it is not advisable to delay the Isha salaah as there is a great chance that one may fall asleep and not be able to wake up. if you are asking about the exact time,"12.00 o'clock " i.e. midnight, then there is nothing wrong in performing salaah at midnight. May Allah grant you steadfastness in deen and happiness in life, Aamin.

And Allah knows best.
