If a woman needs to work, and her work does not involve unlawful mixing [with men], and she observes her and chastity, and does not speak in a soft, alluring manner, then there is no harm in it. The suitor should not refrain from marrying her for this reason, especially if she is willing to stop working upon marriage. It is important to note that acquaintance between young men and women via phone or the internet is a gateway to corruption.
