Is it permissible for the husband to take the salary of his working wife whose job negatively affects her home and children?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman is not permitted to work outside the home without her husband's permission, unless she stipulated that in the marriage contract, or her husband is in financial straits and cannot provide for her. Whatever a woman earns from her work is her exclusive right, and her husband is not allowed to take anything from it unless he made that a condition for permitting her to work.
