Is it permissible for the wife to receive financial compensation for leaving her job and staying at home, based on her husband's desire?
It is not permissible for a woman to receive a wage for leaving her work if that is a deception to ensure the continuation of the wage, because it constitutes consuming people's wealth unlawfully. It is obligatory for her to obey her husband if he asks her to stay at home and stop working, unless she stipulated remaining in her work at the time of the marriage contract. In this case, the husband does not have the right to prevent her from permissible work.
