My wife has a small business which she operates from home.

Question

My wife has a small business which she operates from home. Am I still responsible for her maintenance?

Answer

As long as the wife remains within the precincts of the house, the husband is responsible for her Nafqah even if she earns. Only if she works outside the home, will she not be entitled to nafqah.
