Q: I am a single daughter of my parents and they have become very poor and weak. They are not able to earn anymore. I am a graduated girl and I want to work in order to provide for them. In 6 months I would be getting married. My in laws are not allowing me to work. The kind of jobs I get is mixing with opposite sex. The company told me that they'll provide me cab facilities and I would be going alone with the driver and a guard either male or female. My father is suffering from severe illness. Is it haraam for me to work? Or should I ask my relatives for help?
A: There are many women who work from home and make more than a comfortable living. A little courage and effort and insha-Allah, Allah Ta`ala will open the doors for you.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
