Let Your Wifey Work?
Salam, If your a brother reading this post, my question is to you, would you let your wife work? and if so under what conditions.
Obviously we don’t live in no Utopian society and we want to protect our woman like woman protect their diamonds Inshallah, or how people preserve their modesty, (haya) shyness, as we say in Arabic.
Bebsi, Pepsi, Masjid or Masgid?
Any hows back to the topic, i heard about this couple recently and the sister was complaining that her husband said “she can’t work”, her being raised in America marrying a man who was born and raised in Pakistan is creating some conflicts, she is almost done with her bachelors and is on pursuit of becoming a nurse but her husband says “stay at home”, i mean does he think this is still Pakistan? or is he trying to be on the safe side and keeping his companion safe? now woman in the west are stepping up their game, when i mean game i mean they have the opportunity to be educated and get into professional fields, whether it be law, nursing, i mean they can do it all around the world, but like look at the biggest Islamic organization in America, (ISNA – Islamic Society of North America) Mashallah the president is a sister, and shes active, educated, wear a hijab, her name is Ingrid Mattson, she has a P.H.D. and is a Canadian Muslim revert and activist.
I used to watch Martha Stewart sometimes until she pulled the white collar crime, then i went to k mart and saw her products, but what can i say, people lose respect when they lose your trust.
What I am trying to say is, Muslim woman should be modest, just like men, educated, should seek to be productive members of society and of course are the catalyst of raising good family’s around the world.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad said “heaven lies under the feet of your mother”……
Everybody’s family and couple has their own problems but i think that we shouldn’t stop our woman from working or getting involved with community work, because at the end of the day if the sister has good intentions and has a halal purpose for what she is doing, then she should be able to leave the crib (home).
Alot of my friends and myself say that yea a wife should work but when the kid comes then chill out and stay at home, money comes and goes, but its about being modest and productive and getting things down for yourself and the betterment of the family inshallah….
so don’t oppress, progress brothers and sisters and talk things out…
