So you can imagine that with three children and full time  job, life is not much easy. I would like to clear that to start the job  was not my decision. I had been forced by my husband to do something to  help him in economics. I realized the situation and started the job. Now  with the passage of time I started noticing that my husband takes me  for granted. He is not interested in fulfilling my needs. Even I don&#8217;t  have freedom to spend my earnings and most of the time I am accountable  for that. He is not even willing to listen that sometimes I can be  tired, or sad. He doesn&#8217;t think about some recreation or entertainment  together. We hardly go out for something. Even then I don\u2019t feel  comfortable and relaxed because of his behavior, I can&#8217;t buy anything  for myself until he permits me to do so. I feel that he has double  standards for me and for himself. I feel that I am over worked and over  stressed. He doesn&#8217;t understand my situation and is focused only on his  goals like good education for children and some savings. I too concerned  about the future but it doesn&#8217;t mean that I should forget about the  present. I tried hard to make him understand about my needs and desires  but he just ignores it. I want to know that in the light of Islam that  what my actual rights are on my husband and what are his rights towards  me.<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>As  far as the Islamic shariah is concerned, it is absolutely clear that a  husband is responsible to earn for the family. He cannot in any case or  situation force his wife to earn. If the wife out of her own wish wants  to help in some financial crisis, he should be very thankful to her.  However, in no case can he forcibly ask her to earn.<br \/> Also whatever a wife earns from her job  primarily belongs to her. The husband has no right on it. He can only  request for some support. Forcibly using the wife&#8217;s money is like  violating her basic rights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Dr. Shehzad Saleem<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-09<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6194\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I  am a working woman having three children under age of 8 years.
