What is the ruling on a woman working at a travel agency if the working hours extend late into the night or start early in the morning, with the agency providing transportation?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The work of a Muslim woman must adhere to Sharia guidelines, including: her husband's permission, the absence of impermissible mixing or private seclusion (khalwa) at work, her commitment to her hijab, refraining from displaying adornment (tabarruj), her speech with men being only out of necessity and to the extent required without softness in speech or movement, and her work not negatively impacting her home, children, or husband. Based on this, a woman's being alone with a driver is a prohibited matter for which work should be avoided.
