Let's discuss the economic rights for men in Islam.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:14

Islam gave woman economic rights 1300 years before the Western

00:00:14 --> 00:00:18

world, and adult woman is allowed to own or dis own a property

00:00:19 --> 00:00:23

without the permission of anyone. This light was given to her 1400

00:00:23 --> 00:00:28

years ago, the first time in the western world that a woman was

00:00:28 --> 00:00:32

allowed to own all this own property without the permission of

00:00:32 --> 00:00:37

her husband was in England in 1870, or the married woman

00:00:37 --> 00:00:43

properties Act. In Islam, if a man does work, and a similar sort of

00:00:43 --> 00:00:48

work is done by the woman, she's entitled for the equal pay. There

00:00:48 --> 00:00:52

is no text in the Glorious Quran, or in the authentic hadith, which

00:00:52 --> 00:00:58

prevents a woman from doing any lawful work. The point to be noted

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

is that the work she does, it should be within the purview of

00:01:01 --> 00:01:05

the Islamic Sharia, she should maintain her job and modesty.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:10

We want a woman to take up professions such as doctors,

00:01:10 --> 00:01:15

gynecologists, nurses, etc. If I want my mother, if I want my

00:01:15 --> 00:01:19

sister to maintain her job, and if I want to take her to a lady

00:01:19 --> 00:01:24

doctor, we should see to it that a woman fought to become doctors.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:30

The other noble professions are professions such as teaching, all

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34

factions which involve the exploitation of a woman's body are

00:01:34 --> 00:01:39

completely prohibited. For example, dancing, modeling,

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

singing, etc.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:45

All these professions are prohibited in Islam for the woman.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:51

Many jobs many professions which are prohibited for the woman are

00:01:51 --> 00:01:56

even prohibited for the man, for example, working in alcohol bars,

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

in gambling dens, in dishonest businesses.

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

In Islam, it is not the duty of the woman to look after the

00:02:04 --> 00:02:09

financial aspects. It is the duty of the man to look after the

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10

financial aspects.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:16

And before marriage is the duty of the Father and the brother to look

00:02:16 --> 00:02:21

after the financial aspects. And after marriage is the duty of the

00:02:21 --> 00:02:26

husband and the son to look after the lodging, boding clothing and

00:02:26 --> 00:02:27

financial aspects.

00:02:28 --> 00:02:33

In Islam, a woman need not work. But if both the ends don't meet,

00:02:33 --> 00:02:37

and if she wasn't, we will choose to work. She may work, but no one

00:02:37 --> 00:02:42

can force her. And she can take our professions to the spot we

00:02:42 --> 00:02:47

weaving, knitting. And she can also work in office where there's

00:02:47 --> 00:02:53

proper segregation of sexes. She can also work in a factory where

00:02:53 --> 00:02:57

there are different provisions for a man and a woman. And she can

00:02:57 --> 00:03:01

also do a business but if she has to deal with the nominee ram it is

00:03:01 --> 00:03:05

preferable through her madam that is the husband, her father, her

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06

brother, her son.

00:03:08 --> 00:03:12

And in Islam, a woman is financially more secured as during

00:03:12 --> 00:03:17

marriage, she's on the receiving end. And Allah subhanaw taala says

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

in the Glorious Quran into the Nyssa chapter number four was

00:03:20 --> 00:03:20

number four,

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

what to Nyssa

00:03:24 --> 00:03:30

and give the woman their power as a free gift. And in Islam for mild

00:03:30 --> 00:03:36

to Sol mais Mohair is compulsory is the man who gives the Dawa to

00:03:36 --> 00:03:40

the would be wife in India, it is exactly the opposite. It is the

00:03:40 --> 00:03:45

woman will give the Dawa to the would be husband and bending upon

00:03:45 --> 00:03:49

status. If the man is a graduate, he may demand one lakh rupees. If

00:03:49 --> 00:03:52

he's an engineer, he may demand five lakh rupees. If he's a

00:03:52 --> 00:03:56

doctor, he may demand 10 lakh rupees, as the characters and

00:03:56 --> 00:04:01

herds are sold in the marketplace demanding dowry directly or

00:04:01 --> 00:04:05

indirectly from the would be wife is completely prohibited in Islam.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:10

The parents of the groom cannot go and tell the parents of the bride

00:04:10 --> 00:04:13

that you know my son he likes to travel in the Mercedes car

00:04:13 --> 00:04:18

indicating that I want a Mercedes car for dowry. You cannot go and

00:04:18 --> 00:04:21

tell that you know my son he likes to live in a four bedroom

00:04:21 --> 00:04:25

apartment indicating that I want a four bedroom apartment in dowry.

00:04:27 --> 00:04:31

Demanding dowry directly or indirectly from the would be bride

00:04:31 --> 00:04:36

is completely prohibited. And willingly if the parents of the

00:04:36 --> 00:04:40

bride want to give you something you can very well accepted but

00:04:40 --> 00:04:44

demanding dowry directly or indirectly is completely

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

prohibited.

00:04:46 --> 00:04:51

And in Islam, irrespective whether the husband is rich or poor, it is

00:04:51 --> 00:04:56

his duty to look after the lodging bolding, clothing and financial

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

aspects of the wife

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

in a slot

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

Um, a woman may also work. She may also do a business, but she did

00:05:04 --> 00:05:10

not spend a single penny on her lodging, boarding clothing and

00:05:10 --> 00:05:15

financial aspects. She may keep it for himself is the husband in the

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

family who's supposed to look after that?

00:05:18 --> 00:05:23

And in Islam, if a woman gets widowed or if the walls takes

00:05:23 --> 00:05:27

place, she receives financial support for the period of ADA.

00:05:27 --> 00:05:32

That is a waiting period. And if she's pregnant, she receives it

00:05:32 --> 00:05:36

for the delivery. And if she has children, she receives it for the

00:05:36 --> 00:05:36

children.
