The ruling on a woman in the waiting period going out to work during the day, and whether it is permissible for her to appoint someone else to work on her behalf and receive the salary

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: A woman is working an exceptional shift on behalf of another woman and receiving the salary in her place, because the other woman has an excuse. Then the husband of this second woman passed away. Her financial situation is moderate, and she has children. The question is: Is this woman allowed to continue working, or does the mourning period prevent her from doing so?

Answer:
If she needs to work during the day for her own livelihood and that of her children, there is nothing wrong with it. She works during the day and returns to her house at night to spend the night there. As for the matter of her agreeing with another woman to work on her behalf and take the salary, that depends on the regulations. If the regulations permit this, there is nothing wrong with it. If the regulations prohibit it and this constitutes circumventing the regulations, then it is not permissible. Yes.
