What is the ruling on my working in a company where there is uncontrolled mixing, and sometimes unintentional privacy (khalwa) occurs, despite there being separate seats for the two sexes in transportation, and given that my work involves saving and photocopying employees' papers for the personnel movement department, knowing that the jobs are originally permissible?
Photographing papers for promotions or appointments in a company whose activity is permissible, is allowed and there is no harm in it. It is obligatory to avoid unlawful seclusion (khalwa) and prohibited mixing (ikhtilat), but that does not make the aforementioned work unlawful.
