Women doing job under what circumstances is it allowed in islam

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

1) A woman says she want to do a job because she gets bored in the house. What does the Quran & Hadith say in this regard? 2) Is there any thing stated in the Quran & hadith that ?women should not used as a source of business?. 3) If the Imams of the Masjids near to our place trim their beard ? for the Jamat what to be done?

Answer

1. Nabi [Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam] said, ?Everyone of your has a responsibility and everyone is responsible.? The responsibility of a woman is to take care of the home. Note that ?house? is not used, since home is much broader than normal ?house?hold chores. One of the most important jobs is the upbringing of children, which if you ask any professional or business person, is the most demanding job. Reason being that the challenge the children are facing today demands constant assistance and skills to overcome them. Who better to assist them, than the first school of the child, i.e. mother. However, if the woman does not have any children, and his taking care of the husband and the home, then she may proceed to work but with conditions like there must be women only like in an all-girls school, nursery school and the life.

2. Your question is not clear. Islam does not prohibit women from doing business only on the basis that it is within the Shari?ah, e.g. there is no mixing with non-Mahram or doing business with Haraam items. Women can get into businesses like, dressmaking, which is restricted to women and brings a healthy income.

3. According to the Shari?ah, the beard of a man / Imaam needs to be one fist long. If it exceeds this length, he is permitted to trim the beard to make it to that level.

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
