Is the decision to leave a mixed-gender work environment, despite financial need and a sister's debts, and the family's insistence that it is selfish, correct or selfish, especially since all available jobs in the country are mixed-gender?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is preferable for a woman to remain in her home, and if she needs to work, the default is that it should be in a place where she does not mix with men in a forbidden way. A woman's decision to leave work where she mixes with men and stay at home is not selfishness; rather, it is preferring religion over worldly life and a keenness to safeguard her faith and avoid temptations. And whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out and ease.
