Which is better for a Muslim woman: fulfilling her duties towards her home and husband, or dedicating herself to seeking knowledge while utilizing a domestic helper?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A Muslim woman must strive to understand her religion to the best of her ability, and serving her husband and raising her children are great obligations. Therefore, she should allocate a daily time, even if short, for learning, such as reading, and dedicate the rest of her time to her daily tasks, without neglecting her religious studies or her household and family responsibilities.
