Is it Haram (prohibited) or Halal


412

Q 1: My father receives a pension which does not fulfill the needs of the seven members of our family. This obliged our mother to work as a seamstress. She sews clothes for women, but these clothes reveal their `Awrah (parts of the body that must be covered in public). What is the ruling on the money she earns?


A: If the case is as you have described, her job and the money she earns are Haram (prohibited). She should repent to Allah, abandon her job, and look for another lawful job to earn lawful money. There are many ways to lawful earnings. Allah (Exalted be He) says, And whosoever fears Allâh and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. (Part No. 14; Page No. 443) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
