The ruling on working in a company that has women who display their adornment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
. A man’s question, or was it lost? A man lost his ritual purity? He was frightened, and he intended sexual intercourse, may Allah protect us from that, but due to an obstacle he was unable to. We work at the Aramco company, and in this company there are women of American, English, and Saudi nationalities working, and perhaps they are our superiors, and they order us to do things that are not permissible, and they display their adornment in offices where no one enters except men, so 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 there, and if they order you to do something that is not permissible, do not obey them. There is no obedience to a creation in disobedience to the Creator. As long as the men are upright and their affairs are good, how can you be content with them? You must stay away from these people, unless you have the ability to forbid them from what is wrong, and do not obey them in anything other than what is right, otherwise stay away from them. And Allah is trustworthy.
