Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
A woman is not permitted to work outside the home without her husband's permission, unless she stipulated that in the marriage contract, or her husband is in financial straits and cannot provide for her. Whatever a woman earns from her work is her exclusive right, and her husband is not allowed to take anything from it unless he made that a condition for permitting her to work.
