Is it permissible for a married woman to earn?

Question

Is it permissible for a married woman to earn? To whom does the money she earns belong?

Answer

A married woman may work and earn from home or in a purdah-protective environment only with the permission of her husband. It is not permissible for her to work and earn even from her marital home without the consent of her husband. The same rules apply to an unmarried woman. Without the consent of her father she may not work and earn even from home.

Whatever she earns is her own property. Neither the husband nor the father can claim her earnings.

The modernist deviates and the modernist, miscreant molvis and sheikhs who are lost in a cesspool of jahaalat (stark ignorance), licking the boots of their western masters, obsequiously contend that a wife and her husband have 'equal' financial status regarding independence. Thus we see them saying in their kufr MPL bill:

"A wife and a husband in a Muslim marriage are equal in human dignity and both have, on the basis of equality, full status, capacity and financial independence, including the capacity to own and acquire assets and to dispose of them, to enter into contracts and to litigate."

This hash has been designed to appease the gender equality mob whose doctrine is atheism and whose practical life is the cult of fisq and fujoor. Mental inferiority has colonized the brains of these miscreant molvis and sheikhs. Whatever rot and bunkum their western masters din into their ears, they lap up like dogs licking their own vomit.

The Qur'aan and Sunnah make it abundantly and conspicuously clear that there is no equality between man and woman. The equality doctrine of the gender equality mob is a satanic ploy for legalized immorality, fornication, prostitution and all the immoral and unnatural aberrations stemming from female exposure. With clarity the Qur'aan Majeed expressly states: "For men over them (women) is a rank." This Islamic concept of the superiority of men is so obvious that any elucidation to substantiate it is superfluous. Only those who have traded their Imaan for the kufr of the West are in denial of Qur'aanic and Sunnah truths.

Just as a father has more dignity than his son, and just as a mother has greater dignity than her children, and just as the elder brother has greater dignity than his younger brother, and just as an elder sister has greater dignity than her younger sister, and just as a mother has more dignity than her son despite him being a male, and just as an Ustaadh has more dignity than his students, and just as a Shaikh has greater dignity than his mureeds, and just as every senior/superior person in Islam has more dignity than every subordinate, so too does the husband have greater dignity than his wife.

The superiority of the husband over his wife is vividly and conclusively borne out by Rasulullah's statement that if he had to order anyone to prostrate for any person, he would instruct the wife to make Sajdah for her husband. This effectively negates the western doctrine of the equality of the sexes.

The alleged 'financial independence' of the wife is circumscribed by the husband's rights over her. She can become financially independent only with the consent of her husband. Even with regard to her own money, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) instructs her to refrain from using her own wealth without the consent of her husband. Irrespective of her having sole ownership of her assets, she is not entirely free to dispose of such assets without the approval of her husband. Should he instruct her to withhold spending her own wealth, obedience devolves as a Waajib obligation on her.

She has absolutely no right to unilaterally enter into any financial contracts with anyone without the consent of her husband. This prohibition has greater emphasis with regard to litigation.

Muslims should shake of the encumbrance of mental inferiority and intellectual colonization which their western masters have imposed on them. As followers of Allah's Creed, we are required to proclaim with great clarity the unadulterated doctrines and tenets of Islam. We owe no one any apology. There is absolutely no need to dilute the pristine pure injunctions of Islam. Almost everything of Islam is repugnant to the West in particular. Let us not care a damn for their repugnance. The claims of equality made by the MPL mob to assuage the kufr brains of the gender equality mob are thus utterly baseless and rejected by Islam.
