What does Islam say about working women?
The woman is not forced to work in Islam, If she is not married then her father/brother must pay for everything she need, When she got married she will not be forced to share her money with her husband.in all her life she doesn’t need to work to have money, not like the west working is her only way to survive.In Islam the woman is allowed to work but her salary will be for her only, her husband doesn’t have the right to ask her to pay bills or buy food. The man responsibility is to pay for everything his woman need from the house to her socks.Being a rich woman or has higher salary doesn’t make her lose this right, She can help her husband if she want to but spending the money is not her responsibility it will be up to her opinion, she can help him or keep the money for herselfThe work should be suited to the nature of woman and The work should be in a place that is only for women, and there should be no mixing with non-mahram men. - Her going out to work should not involve committing any haraam action, such as being alone with the driver, or wearing perfume where non-mahrams can smell it or not wearing Hijab.That should not lead to her neglecting things that are more essential for her, such as looking after her house, husband and children.
If Islam allows Muslim women to work, why are 98% of them housewives, considering their poverty?
I am writing a paper on demography and discovered that in Muslim countries 98% of women are housewives and not gainfully employed. I also learnt that it is absolutely allowed in Islamic religion for women to work and make actual money outside their home. Alas, in all muslim countries, and even in more progressive ones like Turkey and Tunis, 80% of women don't wor and dont have any education. How come? considering majority of population is below poverty line??? the american way is if there is no or little money in the family the wife gets a job and the household is thus able to make ends meet.actually in us most of successful well-off households are dual income households.
Can women work in Islam? What is this hadith on the end of the world?
Salam.Really in Islam women can work but they must be permitted by their parents for singles and they must be permitted by their husbands for wives. There are many signs on the end of the world or qiyyamah among others the total of women will be out number the total of men just 50:1,the sun will rise on the west etc.
Can women work and have a career in Islam? Please only give a reference from the Quran?
There is no direct reference to Muslim women being or not being professional in the Quran, similar to how there is no direct reference to Muslim women eating dessert. If it has not been forbidden, it is not forbidden. If it is not forbidden, it is allowed. Islam is not just the Quran, but also the Sunnah. And an undisputed element of the Sunnah is that Muhammad's first and most beloved wife Khadijah was a wealthy, successful, independent, well-reknowned businesswoman in Makkah. She was actually Muhammad (saw)'s boss, which is how they got acquainted in the first place. After they were married, she continued her business, and after Muhammad became a Prophet, she used her profession to finance the cause of Islam. She was no joke. She was no fluke. She was, and the Prophet repeatedly tells us this, one of the ideal Muslim women of all time. So let's not forget that. Moving on.Relevant to this topic Muslim women have two commandments: they must be educated, and they must take responsibility of managing a household (if they have one). So it is the wife's responsibility to make sure the children are being taught, fed, the house maintained, the satellite working, the fridge sufficiently full. (The husband's responsility is to make sure everyone is financially provided for and protected). It is both the man and woman's responsibility to look after the emotional and physical needs of one another. If a Muslim woman, who is already educated in both religion and worldly subjects as her religion requires her to, and is managing her household just fine (if there are kids they are looked after by their grandparents, reliable babysitters, or school), then there is no Islamic justification for her not to work. Again, however, it's not just her decision, but a decision her husband and her have to make together. That part is important. It is similar to a Muslim man deciding to quit his job. It's not just his decision. His wife's wishes must come into play.
In Islam do you think a wife should work?
yes and no.. yes because if she is well educated, then yes, she can go have a good job she deserves. If she did not want a job, I would simply agree with her. When a woman is married to a man, in islam, if she makes her own money, it is her money, and nobody, not even the husband has no ruling over it. in islam, the man pays for everything, and if the wife wants to help out, she can, but it is all the man's responsibility. A man cannot take a woman's money, or control it in islam.
What does Islam say about women working outside the home?
Working outside in the yard? Outside at a job in the public or private sector?There is nothing in Qur-aan that prohibits women from “working outside”.They should though ,adhere to the appropriate Islamic protocols which will probably be enshrined in the system if it is a country that espouses Islamic values. If it is not, then she should observe whatever protocols that she can as best as she can as long as she does not engage in haram activity; which will be her call based on her piety. I say “her piety” but it is also premised on what the family will allow if she is single or her husband, if she is married (unnecessary statement as reference to a “husband” means that she is married but “duh”!). Before the eyes roll, it must be remembered that in Islam, men are the protectors of women, even if many/most of them feel or know that they do not need protection.It is Qur-aan that enshrines this protection caveat. Protection also means financial protection. Women do not have to support themselves. Any money she earns is entirely her own money to do with as she sees fit even if she is married or not. No man is allowed to force or coerce her to using her money for the family; she can do so by her free will only if she chooses and that too is in Qur-aan so it is fard!
Are women underestimated in islam???
The status of women in Islam is one of the most misunderstood aspects of the religion. According to the Qur'an as well as the sayings of the Prophet Mohammad (SAWW), women enjoy an honorable status in Islam. Islam gives women separate legal rights as individuals. Fourteen hundred years ago at the very inception of the Islamic faith, by divine decree, women were given the right to divorce, the right to own property in their own name and separate from the husband, the right of inheritance, the right to make a will, and many other rights. These rights were not available to women in the Western societies until the 20th century. The Qur'an says: "Men shall have the benefit of what they achieve and acquire, and women shall have the benefit of that which they similarly achieve and acquire." (4:32) A saying of the Holy Prophet Mohammad (SAWA) is recorded as follows: "If a daughter is born to a person and he brings her up, giving her good education and training in various arts of life, I shall myself stand between him and hellfire." According to another saying of Prophet Mohammad (SAWA): "Paradise lies under the feet of the mother." God says in the Qur'an about women: "They (wives) have rights similar to the obligations upon them in accordance to honourable norms" (Holy Qur'an 2:228)
