Is it permissible for a wife to work without her husband's permission, while he forbids her from working, knowing that he has left her with her family and does not provide for her?
It is forbidden for a married woman with whom her husband has consummated the marriage to leave her husband's house or her parents' house without his permission, even if it is for an act of worship. This is unless the husband refrains from spending on her without justification, in which case she is permitted to go out to earn a living even without his permission. This is because if he does not spend, he does not have the right to prevent her from leaving. As for a woman who has entered into a marriage contract but whose husband has not yet consummated the marriage with her, her obedience is to her family and not to her husband, and he has no right to command or forbid her.
