Encouraging Hijab, Prohibition of Seclusion with Non-Mahram Men

This is a message from the questioner (H. T.) from Iraq, Baghdad, al-Mahmudiyyah district. She says in her message: I am forty years old, I am a farmer, and I work in agriculture. Men and women who are not my relatives come out to me, and I mix with them, and my face and hands are exposed. I am unable to observe hijab in the environment where I am, and I am afraid of the punishment of Allah. Is there a sin on me for working, or not?
Answer: It is obligatory for you, O sister, for the sake of Allah, to observe hijab, even if it involves hardship. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Thus the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Therefore, it is necessary for the believer to strive against his own self, and the believing woman likewise must strive against her own self regarding hijab from non-mahram men. The mixing that may cause fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) for you, you must avoid it. As for them contacting you for a need related to the farm, to buy a need for the farm, or to ask about a need for the farm, this does not harm with hijab, and praise be to Allah. But it is not permissible for you to be alone with one man where there is no one else with you. No. But if there is a second or third person, or another woman, without suspicion or fitnah, there is no blame on you in that with hijab and covering. If he asks about his need or requests to buy a need or something similar to the needs people have from the farm, there is no blame in that, provided you stay away from the causes of suspicion, stay away from seclusion, and stay away from exposing the body. You should be covered and wearing hijab. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
