Then, how does Islam view this?
In this post I will discuss it in more detail.
The family can be likened to an organization or the smallest society. So the main task and responsibility for management lies with the husband as the head of the household.
"As for women as wives, they have the right to have their husband's livelihood fulfilled and the obligation to be a pious woman, who obeys Allah and her husband, and takes care of herself and her husband's property." [QS. Ali Imran verses: 34-35].
Actually, the main task to meet household needs, the head of the household in Islam is the husband. So, men in a family system are leaders for their families.
Well, the purpose of an organization from this family is to create a family that is sakinah, mawaddah, warahmah. In economic terms, it is a happy and prosperous family, a prosperous family in our view. So the orientation must fulfill the five sharia.
The first is that the property that we have must be able to guarantee the maintenance of worship or religion, khuzutin is the name. When we talk about khuzutin, then if we have money, then the money must have zakat. Money must be used to guarantee and support the implementation of worship that is carried out, if necessary, praying, dressing, yes, buy clothes first, so that it can cover the aurat, right?
So the point is that the mall or money or whatever we have must be encouraged and oriented to be able to lead to a prosperous family, which can maintain its religion, which can maintain its descendants, related to the health and education of its children.
Well, if that is fulfilled, then the family will be a prosperous family.
"Men are the leaders of women, because Allah has made some of them (men) or others (women) excel and because they (men) have spent part of their wealth, therefore, the righteous women are less obedient to Allah to take care of themselves in the absence of their husbands, because Allah has taken care of (them)." [QS. An Nisa verse: 34].
Hopefully useful.
Greetings always compact.
