Woman working from home due to financial problems
Question
My father was the only earning member in our family. Now he is retired and we are going through some financial problems. Can I find a job and earn an income to support my family by maintaing sunnat purdah?
As a Muslim woman I don't like working outside the home but I'm in a complex situation. What should I do?
Secondly, what type of job should I do?
Answer
Yes, you can earn a halaal earning from within the home.
I suggest that you consult some old pious women in your area. They could give you some advice.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
