dc.description.abstractThe popular notion and misconception is that women are disallowed to work under Shari’ah. The notion continues to infatuate the minds of many in view of the fragile nature of women and the protection offered them under Shari’ah. However, in the recent time, there exist many circumstances necessitating women to work like their male counterparts even outside their households. The cases of single motherhood syndromes and harsh economic condition have changed the narrative in most Muslim communities thereby necessitating women to fend for themselves and their dependents. In the face of the contemporary challenges in Islamic world, there is need to therefore interrogate the condition precedent for women to work under Shari’ah jurisprudence. In doing so, the study adopts doctrinal method of legal research. The study finds that freedom is very germane to ability to work; that right to work is subject to the overall commandment of Allah under Shari’ah; that the expected role of women in society ordinarily does not grant them freedom to work outside their home because their primary duty is to take care of their husbands and children; and that the freedom granted women to work outside their households is conditional with genuine case of Dharuurah (necessity). The study concludes that in the face of the contemporary challenges bedeviling some women, they can exercise right to work subject to the conditions stipulated under Shari’ah.
