The answer

A woman is obliged to cover her body and not display her adornment to foreign men, and to wear the hijab if it fulfills the Sharia conditions; there is no harm in that. A woman's staying in her home is better for her than working if she is not compelled to do so. If she wishes to work, it is conditioned upon the availability of the requirements mentioned in Fatwa no. 45029.
