Question:
Salam Shaykh,
My husband is of the view that I shouldn’t be working even in a women orientated job because Mawlana has said he dislikes women working outside. The thing is, we just moved and every month we are having a bit difficulty financially. We also have a young daughter & I am very very bored at home. I was thinking of working for a while and I can send my daughter to school and help my husband with the household for a bit. Do I have permission to?
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
It is true that Mawlana dislikes that, so try to find something that allows you to work at home. This way you get both blessings: on the one hand keeping harmony with husband and following Mawlana’s preference, on the other hand helping out with expenses and occupying yourself.
