What is the ruling on women teaching in a girls' school where the principal and the supervisor are male?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman to work as a teacher in a school where there are no males present except for the principal and the supervisor?

Answer:
It is not permissible to work in a school where there is free mixing of men and women. It is not permissible to work in such a school unless the principal and those who assist him are separated from the women. They must be separated from the women; the women are in one part of the school, and the principal is in an independent administration far away from the women. In that case, there is nothing wrong with it.
