===Taking Tzedaka from Women=== | |||
#There are many factors that would allow collecting even a large donation today from married women today.<Ref>[https://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=991&pgnum=61 Chavalim Beneyimim EH 5:34] writes that it is permitted to accept a large tzedaka donation from a woman since the common practice today is for a couple to split their property and since she has joint ownership she can give a large gift. Maharit CM 2:67 says that a woman can keep her salary for herself if she is the sole provider for the food in the house and even in that case he suggests that perhaps she willingly cedes her rights to the salary and it belongs to her husband. He is also discussing work outside the house. Rav Reuven Feinstein (Etz Erez p. 798) writes that his father, Rav Moshe Feinstein, held that if a woman works outside the home that money belongs to her. Shevet Halevi 11:309 disagrees and holds that a husband owns his wife’s salary even if she works outside the house.</ref> | |||
