Is a wife's disobedience to her husband regarding her leaving her job due to its remote location considered a sin, given her fear for the future because she is infertile and her husband is extremely obedient to his parents?

A wife must obey her husband unless he commands her to commit a sin, due to the importance of this for entering Paradise and attaining Allah's pleasure, as stated in the Hadith: "If a woman prays her five [daily prayers], fasts her month [Ramadan], guards her chastity, and obeys her husband, she will enter Paradise through any of its gates she wishes." Therefore, it is not permissible to disobey the husband in his refusal of his wife working, and what you mentioned is not a justification for it. She must trust in Allah's mercy and grace, and have a good opinion of Him, for whoever relies on Allah and fears Him, He will not abandon them.
