You are advised against involving your husband in the proposed project for several reasons, among them: the financial stability of the family with two independent jobs, and the child's need for her attention and care, which would be affected by the project that will consume her time. It is emphasized that true happiness does not depend on increasing income, and that fears of the marital relationship transforming into a work relationship are very probable and could lead to problems, citing the Almighty's saying: ﴿And indeed, many of the partners oppress one another, except for those who believe and do righteous deeds — and few are they.﴾ [Saad: 24]. It is advised to dedicate the time remaining after her job to her husband and child, and to reading, worship, and maintaining kinship ties, as this leads to achieving happiness and family stability.
