Why muslims prefer housewives?

Really? 65% of female workers are faced with sexual harassment in the work place in some European countries. Uh! Man, luckily I don't have the article of the portion of women working on police stations and in the army experiencing sexual harrasment. (+ the bosses making use of their status on workplaces!)

That's in Europe, not in Muslim country like Indonesia. In Indonesia, sexual harrasment is also happened, but only in certain work places that full of non-religious workers who forget their 'eastern' values.

Do you know, sister ?, in Indonesia we have 'eastern' values that compatible with Islamic values.
 
The initial post of this thread angered me so much...grrrr....

NO. It's why muslim MEN prefer housewives.

Also, our prophets (pbuh) first wife was not a housewife.

If a man has issues maintaining his chastity beyond the walls of his house, he has issues. Literally. Men cannot justify such stupidity with male nature. It is not in a mans nature to want to sleep around with women other than his wife.

Sick.

Read his post again. He says women shouldnt work so that they, the men, remain loyal to their wives.

Grr.

i think by this the poor brother just meant that if women work, there would surely be free mixing and fitnah (of course men cant stop working so that the workplace becomes an all women environment), and so fitnah can be avoided if women are housewives and not working women.
 
/me ignores this thread because he is too young for marriage and I believe we cannot generalize that all muslim men want this ( for eg i personally think otherwise ).

:sl:

Nope, what you are saying is his last point. In his second last point, he meant exactly what he wrote.

It depends on how we define "housewife." As far as the evidence is concerned, I have not come across a document which shows that Khadija (ra) attended business councils where male businessmen of Arabia were present. If someone has such historical records, please do share them. After accepting Islam, I am sure she did not go out and dealt with males as part of her business ventures? Most likely she ran business from within the confinements of her house and she would have male delegates (her slaves??) who would work in the outer social society. To the extent, that she sent a slave for marriage proposal to the Prophet! She did not go by herself to offer him the marriage proposal ... makes me wonder why?

So we cannot consider Khadija (ra) to be a businesswoman who is similar to the businesswomen of today's society. We, however, need to do more anthropological studies of the nature of Islamic society of Prophet's time in order to understand the golden standards and apply them in today's world.

Wallahu Aalam.

maybe a little off topic but what happens when a woman works because her husband does not provide for her (food/ clothing/ shelter)??

Assuming she has asked him numerous times, what would be the next step?

I think the fourth and sixth point are related to each other.

I personally think there is a benefit in the wife being able to stay at home when the children are infants and up until they go to school insha'Allah. After that, I think working is a good idea. That is just my humble opinion. I also believe that it is the woman's choice when there is a choice to be made. Sometimes financial situations require for the wife to work even if she would rather not.

Well I guess even in that circumstance, she does have a choice but would have to make some sacrifices.

:sl:

That would be a pretty pathetic husband, if you ask me. A husband that isn't doing such things out of laziness or what have you is not fulfilling the duties of a spouse according to Islam.

With that being the case, if the husband isn't doing it and the wife has to support the family so they won't be out on the streets, then more power to her. The husband should be ashamed of himself in that situation unless he has a crippling disability or something like that.
