{"_id":"668da02c0b76658b4c233013","title":"Can women pursue careers that impact their ability to look after their children?","question":"Is it permissible for a woman to pursue a highly time demanding career like a surgeon if it will take away from time she will be able to spend raising her children?","answer":"This decision must be made jointly by the husband and wife since it impacts family life. While Islam does not forbid women from working, it is legally obligatory to prioritize and uphold the rights of one's spouse and children over career choices. Both men and women will be held accountable for these responsibilities on the Day of Judgment. I strongly advise discussing this matter as a family and reaching an agreement that fosters harmony at home. May Allah grant you success in whichever path you choose.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff00b76658b4c2329a9","tag":"Contemporary Life: Jobs and Career","count":120},{"_id":"668d9ffb0b76658b4c232ade","tag":"Marriage: Roles and Responsibilities","count":56},{"_id":"668d9fdd0b76658b4c232765","tag":"Women: Children and Childbirth","count":50}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:40:12.373Z"}
