Shaykh Sālih Al-Fawzān حفظه الله said:
"The husband is entitled to prevent his wife from being hired or employed, as he is supposed to provide for her to meet all her needs. This is also because being hired or employed makes the wife too busy to fully observe her husband's rights or to look after her children. Work may also expose the wife to immoral situations, especially nowadays, when decency and modesty have become rare whereas the callers to evil and immorality have increased. And women nowadays mingle with men in offices and workplaces involving seclusion, so the danger is great and staying away from such places is obligatory without a shadow of a doubt."
