Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A message was sent from Algeria by one of the sisters. Sister Banon Salim asks and says: Is it permissible for a woman to work in institutions where there is mixing, even if there are many women?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to work in a place where mixing with men occurs, because of the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and evils involved in it. Even if there are many women, as long as there are men, even one man who mixes with them, this is forbidden. It is obligatory for women to avoid this, and likewise for men. It is obligatory for everyone to fear Allah and to stay away from places of fitnah and places of mixing, because of the great evils involved. This is a means to falling into what is forbidden, laxity in hijab, and many other evils. Yes.
