The ruling on working in a company that has women who display their adornment

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
. A question from a man, or did he get lost? A man got lost, right? And he identified himself, and he intended sexual intercourse, and may Allah protect us from that, but due to some circumstance he was unable to. We work at the Aramco company, and in this company women of American, English, and Saudi nationalities work, and perhaps they head us and order us to do things that are not permissible. There are also women in the offices who are not entered by men. Is it permissible for us to work in this company? Knowing that I receive a very attractive salary, is this permissible?

Answer:
You should not work. And if they order you to do something that is not permissible, do not obey them. There is no obedience in disobedience to the Creator. As long as he is a neighbor who is decent, and the matters are good, how can you hope to be with them? You must stay away from these people, unless they have the ability to deny the evil with them, and you do not obey them in what is not right. Otherwise, stay away from them, and fear Allah. He is vast.
