Dealing With Women in the Work Place
By Mufti Ebrahim Desai
| Q.) In the environment where I work, women are also working and they offer us
sweets, etc. Are we allowed to take it or not? |
A.) Shariah has emphasized to maintain strict Hijab with strange women. It is
not permissible to maintain a free relationship (all forms of socialization, for example,
giving and accepting sweets, etc.) with strange women.
| Q.) My friend is a driving instructor. Is he allowed to teach women? |
A.) Rasulullah, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, ordered that a strange male should
not be alone with a strange female. In view of the Hadith, it is not permissible for your
friend to be alone with strange females and teach them driving.
And Allah Taala Knows Best.
