Abstract

The society's need for expert personnel and the increase of educated women compared to the previous centuries have led to the greater importance of legal and jurisprudential debates about women's financial independence and examining its conditions in the context of the family environment. In the verses of the Quran and hadiths, as well as jurisprudence and legal works, various works on this subject have been examined, but there are still some ambiguities due to the various aspects of this subject. Some believe that a woman's leaving home for any purpose must be with the consent of her husband, and some more mildly believe that in the case of a woman’s employment and the condition of its continuation, a man cannot prohibit a woman from her job. However, according to the women's employment policies in Islamic Republic of Iran, it is approved by the Cultural Revolution Council of It is hoped that women will be able to move in the way of securing the fundamental and major goals of Sharia in the shade of benefiting from special goals in the family and society. So, the question is, what is the necessity of examining the financial rights of working women? And what challenges dose it faces? The research method in this research is descriptive-analytical and the findings indicate that the financial rights of working women in Iran have been neglected due to lack of research attention and this issue can be examined in relation to issues such as remuneration, entitlement to a dowry and alimony. On the other hand, issues related to the financial rights of working women, such as restrictions on women's employment, women's employment laws, pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, working hours of women with special conditions, have been discussed in this article. In these cases, it is also concluded that the law has made some predictions in this field, but in practice we are facing a double conflict of managerial behavior in this regard and we see that this issue is facing many adversities for women in the field of work.
