The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Returning to the beginning, regarding the female employee's salary, Shaykh Salih, this listener from al-Qunfudhah, Umm Ahmad, asks: Is the salary of a married female employee considered her property, or does it fall under her husband's control, and is she required to seek his permission before disposing of it? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
This depends on the condition between her and her husband. If he stipulated that the salary is his, or that part of the salary is his, then they have a stipulation. If no such condition was stipulated, then her salary is hers, but her husband has the right to prevent her from working.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh:
And he has the right to prevent her from leaving the house, because this is his right.
