Muslim woman working

Q: I am a 19 year old Muslim female. I want to do a vacation job because I am on holiday from university. I will be working in a ladies only environment, doing administrative work. I live with my retired grandparents and younger sister. My parents are deceased.

Is it permissable for me to take this job to earn extra pocket money and to build up experience that will benefit me later on?

A: We strongly condemn this. A woman's place is her home. She can only leave the home when there is a valid need to leave.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
