Is it permissible for a working woman to recite the Quran in an office that includes men, and is the hijab required for that?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
A woman is not permitted to work with men in one office due to the mixing and potential for temptation (fitna) involved. A Muslim woman must adhere to lawful dress and not go out adorned or perfumed. Reading the Qur’an at work is not permissible if it interferes with work. The hijab must be worn at work due to the presence of non-mahram men, but it is not obligatory to wear it at home when reading the Qur’an.
