We congratulate the questioner on her guidance and warn against the impermissibility of a woman working with foreign men, especially disbelievers, except out of necessity, while adhering to Sharia guidelines. We refer to previous fatwas regarding the hijab, inheritance, testimony, and the prohibition of pork. As for prayer, it holds a high status in Islam and must be given its due importance. It is sufficient that Allah has commanded it, and one who seeks reward must obey Allah. We suggest some simplified Islamic books such as: Riyadh as-Salihin, Sharh al-Arba'in an-Nawawiyyah, Sharh al-Aqeedah at-Tahawiyyah, Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum, and Tafsir Ibn Kathir.
