A:
Marriage to a working woman is permissible as long as she wears decent clothing (Part No. 18; Page No. 394) and her work does not lead her to do any unlawful act such as having direct contact with non-Mahram men or having Khulwah (being alone with a member of the opposite sex). Also, she is not allowed to work without her husband's permission. According to Islamic Shari`ah the best woman a Muslim can marry is a religious woman. This is because it was authentically reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
A woman is to be sought in marriage for four things, i.e., her wealth, her family status, her beauty and her religion. So you should marry the religious woman (otherwise) you will be a loser.
(Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
