Is it permissible for a woman to remove her hijab in order to work for an airline company to pay off bank loans that are incumbent upon the family?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The flaunting of a woman's beauty (tabarruj) and her mixing with non-mahram men are among the grave sins. What then, if this is compounded by her frequent travel without a mahram while she is adorned and displaying her beauty? The noble Hadith contains a severe warning for women who are "clothed yet naked." The wife must abandon this forbidden act, wear the legal (Sharia-compliant) hijab, and seek a suitable, honorable job. Indeed, whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out and provide for him from where he does not expect.
