A woman is not permitted to go out to work without her husband's permission, except for a legitimate Shar’i excuse. However, if the woman stipulated working at the time of the marriage contract and the husband agreed, he is bound to fulfill it. The husband's silence regarding his wife's work does not constitute approval, and no statement is attributed to one who is silent. Therefore, if the stipulation of the wife working is not proven at the time of the contract, the default is that there was no stipulation. A mere claim that the condition existed is not accepted, and the reference for dispute is the Shar’i court.
