Question:
I heard, the questioner says: I work in a hospital, and there are many disbelievers with me, including women. It is necessary for me in my work to look at them. What is the ruling on my work in this matter?
Answer:
It is obligatory for you to leave this job. You should be in a job that is far from being in the presence of women. As for the presence of a disbeliever in the workplace, that is a different matter. It is possible for you to work and call her to Allah, but with the presence of women, no. Do not mix with women, because this leads to seclusion and looking at what Allah has forbidden. So seek another job.
