Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What are the Shari'ah guidelines for the permissibility of a woman working outside her home?
Answer:
She must be in need of it, and she must not mix with men in a way that causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and she must be wearing hijab (the covering prescribed for women). Yes. And she must not neglect her work in the home; working in the home is the default, so she should not neglect it and go out to work outside the home. Yes.
