Is it permissible for a wife to receive a salary from a company in exchange for registering her name with the labor and social insurance office, given that her degree is secondary and there are no exclusively female job opportunities without intermingling available with this degree?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Taking a salary for the wife under her name at the labor office and social insurance without actually working is considered consuming people's wealth unlawfully (أكل أموال الناس بالباطل), based on the Almighty's saying: "And do not consume your properties among yourselves wrongfully," and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, your blood, your wealth, and your honor are sacred to you." This involves deception and falsehood. The solution is for her to agree with the company on undertaking a project, even if it is remote and from home, provided there is no unlawful mixing (اختلاط محرم) involved.
