Shariah has given women the right to earn her own income irrespective of
anyone providing for her or not. On the same note, Shariah desires for
a woman to remain in the confinements of her home and look after the
domestic affairs. Also, modesty is an essential part of Deen more so
for a woman. Shariah has never made it compulsory upon women to work.
If she is a daughter, Shariah has made the father responsible to provide
for his daughter. If she is a wife, the husband is made responsible.
If she is a mother, the son has to take care of her. If she is a
sister, the responsibility is put upon the shoulders of her brother. If
she has no immediate relatives, then Shariah has made it that her far
relatives must look after her. In a case where she has no relatives at
all, the Islamic government has to take this responsibility. Never does
Shariah force a woman to go out in the work field and provide for
herself, thereby making it easier upon her to maintain her shame and
modesty.
