It is forbidden for a Muslim woman residing in a non-Muslim country to engage in mixed-gender study or work, due to the great corruptions that result from it, such as mixing with non-mahram men, abandoning the hijab, and being exposed to religious temptation. It is also forbidden to work in a place that offers prohibited items such as pork and alcohol.
