Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullahi wa-barakatuh.
It is important to note that according to Shari`ah, it is Waajib for a husband to maintain his wife with food, clothing and shelter.<sup>[1]</sup>
A woman`s place is at home. Allah Ta’ala states in the Qur’an:
وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ^[2] 
“Abide reverently in your homes (the women), nor shall you flaunt your beauty and adornment like the flaunting of women in the former times of ignorance. 
Therefore, if a woman`s maintenance rights are fulfilled, she cannot exit her home to earn an income as that is not regarded as a necessity and will not be part of an exemption to exit her home.
Furthermore, it is Waajib on a woman to adorn the Hijaab. A woman must not comply with the requests of her husband in exposing her face in instances where Shariah prevents her in doing so. In obeying the husband in such instances will make her and her husband sinful.
Therefore, if a woman’s maintenance rights are not fulfilled or not met and there is a necessity to earn an income, she should consider other suitable options that are not contrary to the laws of Shariah.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
