We ask Allah to grant the questioner steadfastness and truthfulness in word and deed. Her work as a supervisor is a great opportunity for da’wah (inviting to Islam), enjoining good, and forbidding evil. It is a responsibility for which she will be questioned. Therefore, she must utilize her work to call students to adhere to Allah’s commands, His obligations, and chastity, and to remind and teach ignorant and heedless students what they must learn regarding their religious matters. Regarding the extent of awrah (intimate parts) from a woman to another woman, one can refer to no. 30269.
