According to the Shari?ah, it is your husband?s responsibility to maintain you. If he does not maintain you and there is no alternate way to support yourself, then you may go to work and return home immediately.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
