assalamu aleykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu..

its been a very interesting debate. I've been haviing such conversations with my bro n i think people have to base their answers on what the S******yat did during their life coz their way of life was basically wat Islam is. Islam is areligion of the past, present and the future... we have to learn from the life of the prophets companions (May Allah Have Mecy on them) to find solutions to our problems.
 
oh oh, sory that was supposed to be S******yat, i.e the female companions of the prophet. Sahabas/ssahabiyat are those who saw the prophet n believed in his message.

Sister no offence but shouldnt you have though about this before signing the contract?

As a kindergarten teaching assistant i really dont see how bad it is if you work, you be mainly working with women and children.

We all know ourself and Allah swt knows everything is down to intentions, if you fear your iman will decrease then Subxanallah dont work, I mean you know yourself best.

Well just wanted to know what you all here think about working for women.

Its up to the woman, some women work because they need to provide for their parents(after all they are the ones that raised us), others do because the husband is not earning enough and some do because they love their job :)

It puts a smile on my face when i see practising sisters who are doctors, nurses, solicitors, teachers and so on..Masha Allah .

Like I said earlier you know yourself best and May Allah swt make everything easy for u.:)

Jazak'Allah for all the resposes.

Youngsister you are right, that's what my family's been saying, I've been going for interviews and now that I've landed a job, I'm already thingking of quitting.

The thing is being educated, I want to do something, and not being much in touch with old friends, I really thought this would help me meet new people. I happily look for jobs but as soon as I see an opportunity I start having all these thoughts of the possibility that it may conflict with my deen.

Anyway thanks for all the responces, I've learnt a lil something from all of you. Now I just pray that Allah guide me to what's right, ameen.
 
i love children and i wouldn't mind working as a babysitter or something simillar. In fact i wouldn't mind any job IF the working environment was totally 100% halal (pretty hard here in the UK) and IF the people around me respected my dress code and IF i didn't have to interact with men because at the end of the day prevention is better than cure and i'd rather not face fitnah cos shaitan is there with his stupid ideas and i'd rather sit at home doing my duty towards family with the guy out working than taking on his responsibility lol and just getting stressed out hehe.

but yeah if it's neccessary and you need the money and stuff then i don't see what's so bad, as long as you're careful about how u dress and behave...like a lecturer once said, if women were not allowed to become doctors and stuff because it's supposedly 'haram' then ho's gonna see to a mans wife when she falls ill or is due to have her baby.

Nazia oww Ok I pray that everything works out correctly for you. :)

like a lecturer once said, if women were not allowed to become doctors and stuff because it's supposedly 'haram' then ho's gonna see to a mans wife when she falls ill or is due to have her baby.

We do need muslim women who are educated and work I be much happier to see a female doctor rather than a male one, you are right is all about how you carry yourself.

And Nazia you are lucky to work with kids and this seems like a good opportunity dont just give it up, pray Istakarah and isha allah hopefully the outcome will guide you to the right choice :)

Working with niqab in an un mixed environment in the west is pretty hard, though if theres any place that youll get minimum men its in a primary school.

What do you feel you are doing wrong sister? Working? interacting with men? going out? whats making you uncomfortable?
 
I believe every woman has a right to work and earn her own money as long as the job is good.If you believe you are sinning,you need to discuss with scholars to put your mind at rest.Its not your fault too many women generally misguided about alot of things.
Most muslim women I know would not be able to sustain a decent standard of living,and surely earning a living has to be better for the self esteem and life than potentially having to claim benefits.Sorry but if you are married and your husband can keep you well and you want to stay at home thats fine.Just remember who preys on idle minds.
