Question

I want to marry a person. I love him. He before said he will not allow me to work after marriage so I refused marriage. He loves me so he said now he will allow me to work for my mama and for my own happiness. What if after marriage he will not allow me, so will he be sinful? Should I have to leave the job?

Answer

It is not right for you to be working when he is going to take care of all your needs.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
