    Therefore, if a woman does not face economic hardship under certain circumstances, then it is not a desirable act in the eyes of the Sharia to leave the house and go for a job just to raise the standard of living and to create profit in life. But if the woman is facing financial hardship and the husband is unable to take responsibility for her, or if she is complacent, or the woman is a widow and it is not possible for her to earn a living by staying at home, then such compulsion and necessity will be allowed to leave the house for work at the time of.

It has been declared: Total adultery and woman if I’tatarat fimrat balamjals fahi kadza waqdah means adultery (Tirmidhi: Number: 2786), translation: Every eye is adulterous and when a woman passes by the assembly wearing perfume, she commits adultery. She is going to do it.

    (d) Do not mingle with men at all. If it is the turn of a casual conversation with a man, a woman should adopt a firm tone instead of a flexible style of conversation so that unnecessary worries and thoughts do not arise in the heart. Allah Almighty says: So do not submit to the saying of the disease of the heart.

    (e) Don’t go out wearing jewelry that makes a sound. And don’t touch their legs so that they know what they are hiding.
