The answer

A woman's work as a flight attendant is forbidden (), and its prohibition intensifies if it involves distributing forbidden items such as alcoholic beverages and pork. The salary from this job is unlawful (haram) because it is a wage for a forbidden benefit. She must leave this job immediately. What she has already spent of these earnings is forgiven by Allah. As for what remains with her, she should dispose of it by spending it on charitable causes, unless she is poor and in need, in which case she may take from it what suffices her needs, and spend the remainder on charitable causes.
