The ruling on a woman working as a cashier in the markets
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a woman needs or is forced to work in the large markets
The Shaykh:
Hmm?
The questioner:
He says: If a woman needs or is forced to work in the large markets as a cashier, or what is called a cashier, is that permissible for her?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible for her to do so except in what concerns women; she may work in what concerns women. As for performing work for both men and women together, it is not permissible for her to do this.
