Question: I am a teacher and I married a teacher four years ago, and we were blessed with a daughter. During this period, we have been living in problems because of her family, relatives, and friends. I see no solution other than preventing her from working. Is that permissible for me?
Answer: It is permissible for you to prevent your wife from working and to compel her to stay at home and devote herself to raising your children and attending to your affairs. She has no right to work outside the home except with your consent and permission, provided that you provide for her needs, because you are her guardian, as stated in the verse from Surat al-Nisa: [al-Nisa:34].

Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth.
الرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَبِمَا أَنْفَقُوا مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ
