She supported her argument with Biblical and Quranic quotations. Women ought not to take financial responsibilities while in marriage. some men have reacted to her opinion with agony.
Men are the caretakers of women, as men have been provisioned by Allah over women and tasked with supporting them financially. And righteous women are devoutly obedient and, when alone, protective of what Allah has entrusted them with.1 And if you sense ill-conduct from your women, advise them ˹first˺, ˹if they persist,˺ do not share their beds, ˹but if they still persist,˺ then discipline them ˹gently˺.2 But if they change their ways, do not be unjust to them. Surely Allah is Most High, All-Great” She supported her argument with the above quote in the Quran, 3:34.
