Abstract
SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES: This research is about knowing the important factors to be considered by a working woman's in religious point of view. Women play a very important role in religious; First and foremost, they bear the future generations of human being. They are the mothers that nurture the future leaders of the world; and They are the wives and the trustee of their husbands. To understand more about the rules of religious regarding women, we need to first understand regarding the position of women in religious. Why she is created, what are her purpose in this world, how she was created and how she is different and similar from men? By doing this, understanding her and the rulings that governs her in religion can be easier.
METHOD AND FINDING: In this research, which was conducted with a qualitative method and analytical approach, it was found that under the rules of religious, working is permissible for women but she is bounded by certain rules that are for her own benefit. Woman is created as a servant of God so it is her primary duty to serve God. A woman also can be a wife and mother so she also has her duties and responsibilities that must be taken into consideration before planning to work.
CONCLUSION: The research results showed that procuring livelihood is not a woman’s obligation and responsibility but it is permissible for her to work provided that she will not neglect her primary duties and responsibilities. Working and having an employment for women has its benefits and disadvantage so both must be taken into consideration and benefits should be greater than its disadvantage.
