Sure, women have the right to work per Islam religion. However, they should follow, as men, Islam morals of work. They both should dress per religion requirements. They should follow Quran and prophet Muhammad (peace upon him) commands and watch Allah (God) in all their doings and sayings.

How were woman treated in Islamic religion?

In Islam religion per God revelation of Quran to prophet Muhammad, Woman is treated equally as men. She is considered, per prophet Muhammad (PBUH) saying, as the other half of humanity. She was given for the first time in all religions and nations the rights to have property, to inherit, to sign contracts, to give witness, to work, and to have her own choice in planning for her life and marriage. Refer to questions below for more information. Some people, who are not Muslims, claim many issues against Muslim women out of their misunderstanding of Islam and out of their ignorance of real Islam religion rules. Some others make these wrong claims just to convince themselves that they are on the right path while others not. There may be women oppression in some countries but this is not per Islam religion. It is due to some local practices and traditions.


How is the treatment of women in the Islamic world contradicting to the teaching of Islam?

Treatment of women in the Islamic world is not contradicting the Islamic teachings except in few countries less than the one hand number. Per Islam teachings, woman is comparable to man and is having same duties and rights as man. she is responsible of her sayings and acts as man and accordingly is rewarded by God or punished the same way as man. Prophet Muhammad PBUH recommended Muslims to be kind to be kind to women and to treat them equally. Muslim mothers are rewarded much more than Muslim fathers. Muslim women per Islam teachings have the rights to work, to learn, to do business, to sign contracts, to inherit, to agree upon who to marry, to seek divorce, ... etc. Islam religion is the only religion that guaranteed women rights before other religions and before the UN declarations. However, some Muslims who don't understand their religion correctly deny the Muslim women rights to learn, to work, to agree upon their husbands, and in some countries even not to drive a car. Depriving women of these rights is against Islam teachings.


What are some of the rights given to women in early Islam?

the right to vote the right to divorce a husband the right to work the right to be treated equal to men the right to choose whomever they wanted This above answer is a fantasy. Nobody voted in early Islam, man or woman, in any sense that modern people would recognise. Muslim women did have the right of divorce, but so did pre-Islamic Arabian women, so this was not a new right. Muslim women did have the right to work, but so did pagan women in Arabia, so this was nothing new. The major difference was that Islam made it more difficult for women to do certain kinds of work, as Islamic law forbade women to leave the house without permission. For example, it would have been difficult for a Muslim woman in the 630s to work as a merchant, as Khadija had done in the 590s. Islamic law has never treated women as equal to men. For example, a woman's witness is worth half a man's; a daughter inherits half of a son's share; men may commit polygyny but women may not commit polyandry; men may beat their wives and wives must obey their husbands. Of course, some societies treated women as even less than half a man, so Islam was certainly an improvement on this. But "half" is not the same as "equal". Islamic law does not allow a woman to choose "whomever she wants" as a husband. Her husband must be a Muslim, he must not be a slave if she is free, and her guardian must consent. It is true, however, that Islam technically forbids forced marriage - a woman need not accept her father's choice of bridegroom.


What is the impact of wearing veil by Muslim women on their work opportunities?

It is not an Islam religion requirement for Muslim women to cover their faces with a veil and to cover their hands with gloves. Accordingly, Islam religion neither forbids nor commands wearing veil. The Islam religion requirement is to cover head, hair, and neck and not required to cover face or hands. Women are allowed to wear clothing of any material, any color, any fashion as long as not tight to describe woman body and not transparent to show what underneath.wearing veil is per cultures and traditions of some countries (not per Islam religion), accordingly women wearing veils in those countries may be able to find work according to the rules of these countries. However, it is understood that veiled Muslim women could not have work opportunities to work in non Muslim countries and even in some Muslim countries.

What did the Muslim women work for independence?

It is not clear independence of what? Islam teachings is based on family unit not individual unit as in many western countries. The woman as the man feel loyal to the family and they complete each other for benefit of the family and for raising up good children. Muslim woman has, per Islam teachings; same rights as man. She has the right to work, to make business, to have her own properties, to go for education, to have good jobs,... etc. Woman rights under Islam religion are assured long before the UN woman rights and even before other religions.
