A woman’s right to gainful employment has existed since the earliest days of Islam and is guaranteed by the Qur’an. The Islamic religion bestows economic freedom upon men and women. When a woman is denied the right to exercise this freedom by family members, the blame lies with tradition, not religion. Muhammad succeeded in making great progress in the elevation of the states of women. Equality of the sexes, however, was difficult to incorporate into tribal practices and customs. For example, according to some interpretations, nowhere in the Qur’an is seclusion or veiling of the face mentioned. Local customs and traditions brought then on and preserved them. Islam, in time, became an integral part of tribal society. Tribal customs, including those that made it difficult for women to exercise their economic freedom, became viewed as a sacred tradition passed down from their ancestors.

Even though the Qur’an strengthened the economic position of women, due to local traditions forcing women to remain within the confines of the home, it was difficult form them to exercise their economic rights. In the pre-Islamic and early Islamic period, women did enjoy economic freedom. The Prophet’s wife, Khadija, was a highly successful business woman..
