"Islam does not require women to participate in trade, the vocations or
professions unless it is very necessary."1 In the case that she
must work outside the home, she must work in fields that are lawful.
Those areas that would be considered unlawful are a dancer, a model, a
barmaid, a waitress, a film actress, a musician, or a prostitute to sell her
feminity in order to make money,2
Most other forms of work would be considered lawful as long as she adheres to
Islamic principles in respect to dress and modesty.
Women and men working together can lead to trouble and therefore a woman
should seek employment in a female environment.
