If you stipulated in the marriage contract with your husband that you would go out to work, then this condition is valid and binding. However, if your work causes you to neglect your husband's rights, he has the right to prevent you from it. If you are able to combine work with fulfilling the rights of your husband and your home, then that is better. But if you cannot, then the priority is for the husband's right and the interest of the home. Scholars have determined that a wife's going out to work is contingent upon her not neglecting her primary duty towards her home and with her husband's permission.
