Is it permissible to continue volunteering at a charitable organization if it entails mixing with non-mahram men, knowing that this volunteering brings both religious and worldly benefits to the questioner?
A woman is not permitted to engage in volunteer work that involves mixing with men, because the danger of temptation (fitna) is severe, and its harm is great, and nothing equals safety. If she does not find an opportunity for volunteer work free from mixing with men, then she should volunteer in another activity far from men, while preserving the characteristic of modesty.
