The next question
assalamu Alikum May Allah bless you with the long life. My name is
Medina from Canada, our woman allowed to work or take up a job
in Islam.
Before I give the reply to this question, I would like to mention
an important point.
In Islam, the man the husband is the bread earner of the family.
Before marriage, it is the duty of the Father and the brother to look
after the lodging, boarding clothing and all the financial
aspects. Whereas after marriage, it's the duty of the husband and
the son to look after the lodging, boarding clothing and the
financial aspects. So it is the man who's responsible for the
financial aspects. A woman need not work. But if a woman wishes to
work, she may work but no one can force her and whatever she earns,
she can keep it for herself. She is not obliged to give it to
anyone.
Now coming to the question, that can a woman do a job in Islam
or woman can do any job, but she should see to it that it is within
the purview of the Islamic Sharia. She does not break any rule of the
Islamic Sharia. She should maintain her hijab and modesty.
Allah subhanaw taala says the Glorious Quran is renewed chapter
24 was the metallic one. Coulomb Minetti, your nominal sorry hidden
away I found the Furuya one, say to the believing woman, that she
should lower her gaze and garden modesty and display an auto beauty
except what is ordinary that off and tell her to draw her wheels
over bosoms and display not a beauty except in front of their
husbands, their fathers, their sons. And there is a big list of
Muslims of close relatives who cannot marry.
There are basically six criteria for hijab that are mentioned the
Glorious Quran, and authentic hadith of our beloved Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him.
The first is the extent for the man and for the woman. For the man
it's from the navel to the knee.
For the woman, it is the complete body should be covered. The only
parts that can be seen are the face and the hands up to the
wrist. The remaining five criteria are same for the man and for the
woman. The second the clothes they wear, it should be loose, it
should not be tight fitting, it's not revealing the figure. The
third, it should not be translucent or transparent. The
fourth, it should not be so glamorous, that attracts opposite
*. The fifth, it should not be that of the opposite *. And the
sixth is that it should not resemble that of unbelievers.
These are basically six criteria for hijab.
The woman when she's doing any job, any work, she should see to
it that she maintains her hijab and modesty.
A woman should not work in a place where there's intermingling of the
opposite gender.
Wherever she works there should be separate from ISIS for men and
separate from ISIS for a woman, there should be proper segregation
of the opposite gender.
A woman cannot do any job that is haram.
That is prohibited in Islam. For example, serving alcohol, certain
haram jobs are prohibited for the woman as well as for the man, a
woman she cannot take up a profession or a job such as
dancing, modeling, singing etc. Because in this
she cannot maintain her hijab and her body is exposed.
So she should not do any job that is haram. She should maintain her
hijab and her modesty. But there is a very important point that
whenever she is doing any job
she should see to it that she does not break any rules of this Sharia
as I mentioned earlier, and first thing she should focus on her
obligations.
If she's a wife, she should focus on her obligations as a wife.
And she should focus her obligations as a mother. Because
the best responsibility for a woman is the role of a wife and
the role of a mother. Regarding the upbringing of her children.
She should give the right tarbiyah and education to her children.
And she can take up jobs such as teaching, counseling.
She can become a gynecologist.
Being a gynecologist is a good job because in this situation a woman
is needed
She can teach in an Islamic Institute in an Islamic school.
So all these jobs, they are good for a woman.
But she should see to it that she does not break her hijab there is
no intermingling of the opposite gender.
And there are separate promises for them men as well as separate
promises for the woman. If she takes care of these things, then
inshallah the job that she does, it is permitted and there should
not be a problem in that
