There is no harm in a woman working as a demonstrator at a girls' college, as long as it does not expose her to impermissible mixing (ikhtilat) or unlawful private seclusion (), and with the husband's permission. If the husband agrees, then there is no problem. As for the care of the children, if the shortcomings are in matters that can be compensated for, then there is no harm. However, if it affects their religion and character, then working is not permissible.
