Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect them):
Providing housing and financial support for the wife is an obligation of the husband, and the wife has the right to demand suitable housing and support. However, this does not mean that if the wife agrees to a lesser situation and waives her right, the husband would be sinful. In fact, the best of women are those who consider their husband's financial situation, exercise patience, and stand by him during difficult times.
May you be successful in all good.
