The answer

Prioritizing the employment of Muslims in Islamic countries is paramount due to its societal benefits. Employing non-Muslims while unemployment exists is considered a corruption. If the non-Muslim female employee is immodestly dressed and displays symbols of polytheism, this is even worse. Officials must fear Allah concerning the interests of Muslims. Although it is permissible by consensus to hire a dhimmi (non-Muslim living under Islamic rule), a non-Muslim should not be employed if a Muslim can perform the work. Indeed, it is not permissible if there is a fear of tribulation (fitna) arising from it.
