Second, in the review of Islamic law regarding the breadwinner's wife, there are several scholars who differ in opinion, some of whom have the opinion of mubah (permissible) and some who do not. First, this group of scholars is of the opinion that it is permissible, because in Islam it does not prohibit women from working outside the home, as long as they understand the conditions that are permissible for women to work and they can fulfill them. Second, according to scholars who argue like this, basically the law on a wife working outside the home is prohibited, because by working outside the home there will be many obligations she must leave.
