Husband and in-laws forcing one to work

· 21 Shawwal 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

A woman's husband, mother in law and all other in-laws are telling her to start working, but that woman is not interested in finding a job. She wants to be at home. How can she convince her in laws and her husband not to work? Will she be disobeying her husband?

Answer

She is right and she does not need to feel guilty at all. They need to make taubah for making zulm on her to leave the house. May Allah Ta`ala keep her steadfast and straight with prosperity, barkat and respect.

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