Question:
Mut'ib from Riyadh, please go ahead, Mut'ib. Hello, peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. Hello, peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. My brother, I have two questions. I have sisters who work. And I always argue with my parents that I do not want them to work. The parents say they must work. Does that mean I should stay silent, or is there a way? The Shaykh answers the first question, please go ahead.
Answer:
If her work involves modesty, adhering to the hijab, and avoiding free mixing of men and women, then there is no harm in it. But if the work requires her to remove the hijab or mix with men, then it is not permissible, and you are correct in this. Yes.
