Q 2:
A man works in a governmental body where there are women who wear exposing clothes. Is his salary Halal (lawful) or not?
Is working in this job Islamically permissible or not? The work place is the Electricity Company in Cairo, and the job is an accountant. If the man moves to another office that does not have woman, does his work become permissible or not, knowing that this company is full of women who are not wearing Islamic clothes?
A:
If the reality is as mentioned, regarding free intermixing between men and women at work, the questioner should avoid this work, to protect his Din (Islamic religion) and to stay away from Fitnah (Sedition). As for his salary and reward for his job, they are Halal (Lawful) as long as the work he is doing is Halal, such as sewing, weaving, permissible trade and suchlike. He should move to another place where there is no such free intermixing (Part No. 15; Page No. 159) with women if the same work is available in the new place. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
