Rereading and analyzing the concept of wife's financial independence in the paradigm of Islam

The paradigm of Islam in the issue of women and their rights provided the ground for many fundamental changes in the legal system of the Islamic world regarding women; The issue of financial independence of the wife is one of the challenging subsets of this paradigm, the ambiguity of which brings many harms in various fields. The current research aims to review and analyze the concept of wife's financial independence in the paradigm of Islam, and aims to determine the scope of wife's financial independence.

The present research is analytical and has been carried out with the library method. The Qur'an and hadiths as a research community and opinions related to the goals of the jurists' research have been used as the explanatory bases of the research.

It indicates that some jurists consider the range of women's use of their private property to be limited to the preliminary components of ownership, but after the fulfillment of the prerequisites, ownership is unconditional and absolute. The second group of jurists believe that women's ownership of their property is not absolute but relative.

The financial independence of the wife in property and possession is certain in the religion of Islam, but the wife should not neglect the definite duties of marriage by relying on this independence.
