We need a name for women haters

I think its ironic that women who want to work and earn money are labeled as feminists…like its a bad thing.

Our very own Prophet’s (SAW) wife was not just an employee somewhere…she was a business owner.

If He was not only okay with but married a woman that had a career, then why arent these oridinary and very average men? Does Islam not apply to them? Are they exempt from certain rules that benefit women?

Yes, the hearth and home come first BUT her personal needs, dreams and wishes are not too far behind that. She has the freedom to pursue anything she wants according to Islam. I find it strange when even after all these years…men still have a hard time swallowing that when it was made a law hundreds of years before they were even thought of.

Hazrat Khadeeja did business through the assistance of others. That is, she invested with people who traded on her behalf when they visited other cities/countries. Infact, this is how our she first contacted our beloved prophet

There is a BIG difference between a woman investing while sitting home and a woman going knocking door to door to sell products, or going out of home, working in offices. Besides, the rest 9 umhat ul momineen did NOT work. If leaving the house, going out and working amongst men was such a great thing, I am sure our prophet would have mentioned it. Au contraire, I can cite many references where the women are encouraged to take care of the husband and the children. However, it is NOT obligatory upon them to do ALL the household chores. She may demand a servant.

But justifying through religion, the 9-6, 6 days a week work with men, I seriously doubt that it is recommended.

Also, if working women was such a great idea, why has the family structure collapsed in the west ? The “emancipated” and “independant” women think that they have acheived liberty, whereas in my opinion, its only more imprisonment.

Anyways, I guess IF the family and upbringing of children is not disturbed AND the work environment is decent, I don’t think its a very bad thing for women to work. Laikin based on personal choice, I’d rather opt out of it.
