Question
In our country, Gambia, Muslim women are joining the security forces. There is a shortage of men. Is this permissible?
Answer
Even if there is a shortage of men, it is haraam for women to join the security forces or any public department. This is another practice and attitude of the western kuffaar which Muslims have adopted. Allah Ta'ala has created woman for the home role, not for public activities. There are many factors of evil, immorality and oppression in this profession.
