If a wife’s work requires her to leave the house, she is not permitted to do so without her husband's permission. However, if the work does not necessitate her leaving the house and is permissible according to Islamic law, then the husband does not have the right to prevent her from it. Nevertheless, the wife should consult with her husband in such matters.
