Is a working woman's infrequent or hurried remembrance of Allah or prayer, due to the burdens of work, home, and childcare, considered a shortcoming or a sin? And will her struggle in her home and at her work be rewarded with entry into Paradise?

A woman who meticulously observes God's commandments and fulfills her familial duties with a righteous intention is in a state of great goodness and will be rewarded for what she does. Every act performed by a Muslim woman with a pure intention to earn lawful money and to be self-sufficient, will be rewarded and considered an act of closeness to Allah Almighty. Therefore, a Muslim woman should make her entire life an act of worship, including her sleep, rest, and ordinary work. The fatigue she experiences will be weighed in the balance of her good deeds if she seeks its reward from Allah Almighty. She must maintain her obligatory duties and remember Allah Almighty with her tongue and heart, especially the morning and evening remembrances, for the remembrance of Allah is the best of deeds, the purest, and the highest in ranks.
