Is it obligatory for the questioner to leave her current job, which has distanced her from her previous acts of worship and affected her husband, in order to return to her life of faith, knowing that the job is not a financial necessity and helps her spend her time usefully?
It is commendable for one whose sustenance and expenses are provided through lawful means to dedicate themselves to the worship of their Lord, unless their work serves a benefit for Islam and Muslims. Therefore, the questioner is advised to leave the work that has affected her worship and weakened her faith, and to return to dedicating herself to worship, seeking religious knowledge, and assisting her husband in fulfilling his duties, as this is better for her in the Hereafter. The fundamental principle for a woman is to remain in her home, and she should not go out except out of necessity. Her staying at home is better for her if there is no genuine need, and this is further confirmed if her benefit and her husband's benefit lie in her leaving work and remaining at home.
