Question:
A woman’s husband died, leaving her with children, and there is no one to provide for them, so she went out to work for her children in a workplace where men and women are mixed. What is the ruling on this?
Answer:
She has to seek work and take care of her children, but through permissible means, working in a women's field, not in a men's field, there is nothing wrong with that. As for being among men, no. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has made in what He has permitted a sufficiency from what He has forbidden . So she works as a nurse for women only, works in a safe house for a known wage, does necessary tasks, and so on, through sound means that are far from danger.
