Is a woman rewarded for her work at home without intending to be rewarded by Allah for that work?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman's work in her home is great, contributing to the spread of affection, the upbringing of children, and assistance to her husband. This work earns a woman reward if she dedicates her intention to Allah Almighty, for in the Prophetic , "Deeds are only by intentions." And spending on one's family is considered charity if done with the intention of seeking reward from Allah. Every expenditure a Muslim makes seeking the countenance of Allah is rewarded, even the morsel he places in his wife's mouth.
