The ruling on a woman leading men in the workplace
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on a woman heading a department or section in a government agency or a company, where she leads a group of men?
Answer:
This is not permissible. A woman may lead women and be in charge of the women’s section, but she should not be in charge of men or be the manager of men, because this necessitates prohibited matters: she mixes with men, she does not veil herself from them, and she is alone with some of them due to her work, which leads to evil. As for her being in charge of women’s affairs, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
