What Does Islam Really Say About Women's Independence (financially)
Regarding your concern about a guardian not allowing a woman to work: In Islam, a woman’s right to work is recognized, and she doesn’t need her guardian’s or husband’s permission to work, as long as her work doesn’t conflict with her family responsibilities or Islamic values. The Quran emphasizes the importance of women’s independence and autonomy in managing their own lives (Quran 4:32). However, it’s also important to note that a guardian’s or husband’s concerns about a woman’s work should be addressed through open communication and mutual understanding. If a guardian is not allowing a woman to work, it’s essential to explore the reasons behind this decision and to seek a resolution that respects the woman’s autonomy and rights while also addressing any legitimate concerns. In some cases, seeking guidance from a trusted Islamic scholar or counselor may be helpful in resolving this issue.
Wa alaikum assalam! 1) In Islam, a woman doesn’t need her husband’s permission to work (just like husband doesnt need permission from wife). 2) but she should ensure (like husband has to do this also) her work doesn’t conflict with her family responsibilities or Islamic values.
