The ruling on a woman working in a place where there is free mixing of men and women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, in one of her questions, says: Is it permissible for a woman to work in a place close to her home, where there is one man or more, and she has no mahram (relative one may not marry) with her? Is this free mixing and this work permissible out of dire necessity?

Answer:
If she is working with women, the presence of a man in the building does not harm her. As for mixing with men, no. But if she is working with women in a place where there is no free mixing with men and no trial, there is no blame on her, even if it is in a house, a palace, or a flat... If she is in a place far from them, where there is no free mixing with men, the women are in one section and the men in another, or the man is in one section, that is fine. But if she works side by side with him, and he is not her mahram, it is not permissible, because this is one of the causes of trial.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
