Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The ruling on women working in the legal field varies depending on the specific area of work. If the field involves ruling by Allah's law, or deals with administrative and regulatory laws that do not contradict Islamic law, then there is no objection to her working, provided that the -compliant guidelines are met. However, if the work is in the field of laws that contradict Islamic law, it is not permissible for her to engage in it, as it involves aiding in sin and transgression.
