Question
Women working: This practice due to it being so common has become acceptable. It is not regarded as a munkar (evil). Even Deeni conscious people who are particular with regards haraam and halaal issues fail in this aspect. Also, doctors and dentists, etc. mingle with their ghair mahareem nurses and female secretaries and staff. In the kutub of Ahaadith it is recorded that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "That of the signs of the Hour is that businesses will be expanded so much that the wife will assist her husband in the business." IN another Hadith it is mentioned: "Men and women will do business together." Please comment on this lamentable situation.
Answer
Brother, by the fadhl of Allah Ta'ala, we do comment from time to time on all the evils dominating the Ummah. Rasulullah's predictions are materializing in front of our eyes. Even the 'Deeni' conscious Ulama have extremely far-fetched and corrupt interpretations with which they neutralize the unambiguous statements of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the commands and prohibitions of the Shariah. We are living in times about which Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Islam started off ghareeb (forlorn, weak and friendless). Soon will it return to that state of forlornness. Therefore congratulations for the ghuraba (i.e. for those 'mad' upholders and proponents of the Sunnah and the Haqq)."
It is common knowledge that all those who have female staff are involved in zina of varying degrees. Every argument they fabricate for justifying their haraam acts and for employing female staff is baseless in terms of the Shariah. So many homes have broken up, so many 'pious' men have ruined their piety, so many men bring misery into their relationship with their wives because of zina involvement with their female staff, and so many supposedly good and pious ulama have become zindeeqs with their kufr interpretations to justify mingling with female staff. All their haraam attention is focussed on their female staff, leaving hardly any halaal attention for their wives. Brother, the situation is not going to get better. It will degenerate to the abominable level where the 'leader' of the Muslims will commit zina in public in the Mihraab of the Jaami' Musjid in Damascus. The Aalim of Haqq who will raise his voice in protest will be slain. May Allah Ta'ala have mercy on us and may He keep us firm on the Haqq until the very last breath of life.
