I believe that us women shouldn't have to work, I know alot of people would disgree but everyones entitled to their own opinion..heres mine
Firstly, Islam has spared women the burden of having to work to earn a living, and has made it obligatory on her father, brothers, husband or other male relative to support her. Alahmdulila i've always had my dad and male relatives to support me and yes I know not everyone is in the same situation as me, some girls want to work before they get married, but I dont understand why?..If her community needs her to work in a specialised area such as befits her feminine nature and will not compromise her honour or religion then by all means GO AHEAD or if there is pressing financial need due to the lack of a relative or spouse to maintain her honourably.
As for after marrige, I def believe that a women shouldn't seek work outside the home.
Alot of somali girls are sucked into the western philosophy of womens role' and all that 'independant women' bull-shid. No wonder why the divorce rate is so bloody high amongst muslim couples, and some men actually encourage their wives to go out and work!!! If the wife is not at home then who's going to be attending to her husband and childrens needs?
anyway, feel free to share your thoughts...x
