Ruling on a woman working in a place where she mixes with men?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a mother to orphans, and I wish to work, but this job involves mixing with men, so what am I required to do? And I am, praise be to Allah, a religious woman.
Answer:
Do not work with men, and be glad of good if Allah wills. Look for another job among women, and be glad of good: [al-Talaq:2], [al-Talaq:4]. As for with men: a nurse with the male nurses, or otherwise, no, this is a trial and a great danger to your religion and your honor. Do not be with men in work, stay away, and do not be a secretary for a man, nor with the doctor: the doctor's secretary, nor assist him. All of this is a great danger. With women, with female doctors and nurses, there is no harm, and others in women's jobs. As for with men, no, even if you ate dirt. Fear Allah and be glad of good: [At-Talaq 65:4].

And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out
وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًاAnd whoever fears Allah - He will make for him of his matter ease.
وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ يُسْرًاAnd whoever fears Allah - He will make for him of his matter ease.
وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ يُسْرًا
