Islam sees a woman, whether single or married,
as an individual in her own right,
with the right to own and dispose of
her property and earnings without
any guardianship over her (whether
that be her father, husband, or anyone
else). She has the right to buy and sell,
give gifts and charity, and may spend her
money as she pleases. A marriage dowry is given by the groom
to the bride for her own personal use, and she keeps her own family
name rather than taking her husband’s.
Islam encourages the husband to treat his wife well, as the
Prophet Muhammad said: { The best among you are those who
are best to their wives. }4

Mothers in Islam are highly honored. Islam recommends
treating them in the best way. A man came to the Prophet
Muhammad and said: “O Messenger of God! Who among
the people is the most worthy of my good companionship?”
The Prophet said: { Your mother. } The man said: “Then
who?” The Prophet said: { Then your mother. } The man
further asked: “Then who?” The Prophet said: { Then your
mother. } The man asked again: “Then who?” The Prophet
said: { Then your father. }1
