The answer

If a woman needs to work and adheres to the Islamic guidelines, there is no harm in her engaging in permissible work. The default is for a woman to work in her home or in fields that suit her nature, but there is no objection to her working in other fields if she adheres to the controls. Caution must be exercised against working in suspicious foreign institutions that aim to corrupt Muslims, because that is cooperation in sin and aggression, which is forbidden by Islamic law.
