Is it permissible to work in places of free mixing?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I applied for a job as a translator in one of the hospitals. In this hospital, as in other hospitals, there is free mixing between men and women. My question is: by virtue of my job, I will be forced to interact with female patients and female workers. What is your honorable opinion on this matter? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good. I am in dire need of this job.

Answer:
If your job causes you to mix with women, stay away and beware. Beware lest the Shaytan prey on you through them. Beware. However, if your job is not such that you are near them, but rather you are a translator, and they are brought to you or sent to you in your office, and you translate and give it to them, then there is nothing wrong with it. But if you mix with women, whether patients or non-patients, it may cause you many problems and many dangers. They are nearly naked, and many of them do not care about covering and hijab, or perhaps all of them do not. So you are in danger. Therefore, beware and stay away, for provision is with Allah.
