A woman removing her niqab out of necessity for work

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this is a woman from Britain asking, and she says: Is it permissible for a woman to remove her niqab for the necessity of work?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for her to do that. It is not a necessity of work. There are many jobs. If a job is too restrictive for you, go to another job where you can maintain your hijab and adhere to the matters of religion. Provision is in the hand of Allah. Whoever fears Allah, He will make a way out for him and provide for him from where he does not expect. Yes.
