Question:
Well, a man, due to his work, is away from his home for three weeks every month, and his wife works as a teacher in one of the schools in Egypt. Due to the nature of jobs in her country, Egypt, she is exposed to mixing with her male superiors, such as directors or inspectors. However, she helps the Muslim female students. Is this work permissible?
Answer:
She must fear Allah, she must observe hijab, and she must not be alone with a man. If she fears Allah the Exalted and Majestic, and has done what is required in helping her sisters in Allah, the students and teachers, and has not been alone with a man, but rather comes to her work and returns without mixing with men or being alone with men, then there is no harm for her. It is required of her to be careful about hijab and about not being alone with a man. We ask Allah for well-being.
