Abstract

Women rights have always raised public concerns in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and around the world. This was accompanied by a wide debate among the members of the society betOween supporters and opponents of woman going out to work which caused concepts formation of social customs and traditions that allow men to control women. Thus, the masculine society concept became one of the characteristics of the Saudi society, which derives its strength from extremism at times and from customs and traditions -that are contrary to Islamic law - at other times. Having said that, this study has shed light on a modem and crucial problem in the life of Saudi society. The study also focused on the right of women to work and the understanding of Saudi society according to the vision of Saudi Arabia 2030 through an analytical research in the light of Islamic law. In addition, the study also pointed to the impact of these traditions on understanding the work of women in Saudi society in line with the vision of the Kingdom 2030.On the other hand, the study dealt with a set of Sharia rules (legal rulings), evidence and regulations in the Kingdom. The study discussed the vision of the Kingdom 203 0 and the extent, to which society accepts it especially the right of women to work. The study showed the Saudi society's understanding of women's right to work which is one of the purposes of Islamic law and the society's attempt to get rid of old concepts, traditions and customs while placing their hopes and aspirations on the vision of Saudi Arabia 2030 to make a radical shift in Saudi society. The study concluded that the work of women according to the vision of the Kingdom is not incompatible with Islamic law.
