The ruling on a woman stipulating work in the marriage contract

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh’s case: The questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman to work as a teacher without her husband’s consent, if this is a right in the marriage contract?

Answer:
Yes, if she stipulates in the contract that she will be employed and teach, and he agrees to that, there is nothing wrong with it.
The condition worthier to be fulfilled by you is the one by which you made the private parts (of your wife) lawful (for you).إن أحق الشروط أن توفوا به ما استحللتم به الفروج
Sunan Abi Dawud 2139Sahih (Al-Albani)
So if it is stipulated in the contract and the husband is patient with it and agrees, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
