A woman being forced to work in bilaad al-kuffaar

Question:
I’m a 21 years old sister living in a kaffir country. My mother forced me to get a job, otherwise she will take me out of home. I would like to make hijrah but I don’t have enough money to do it. What shall I do?

Shaikh Adel As-Sayyed:
In this case, as you’re being forced, you can work providing that this is a necessity and you’re doing it because you’re forced.

Applying Islam in kuffar countries is not easy and it differs from applying it in Islam lands.

Accordingly, if you have to work due to the situation described in the question, even if you find a work which involves some haraam things like free mixing, in this case you are allowed to do it and there is nothing wrong upon you.
