Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If a woman intends by her permissible work to help her husband and raise her children, she will have reward and recompense. This is a form of righteousness and maintaining ties, as stated in the : "You will have the reward of charity and the reward of maintaining ties." Intention resides in the heart, and it is not prescribed to utter it verbally.
