Question

I am a female lawyer. Is it permissible for me to work in Pakistan courts?

Answer

What we understand of Pakistan is that though it is called an Islamic country, but the law system entirely is not in accordance to the teaching of the shariah. Hence, if it is something that is not in conformity to the shariah then in any case whether you are supportive of it or you advise your clientele regarding it then you will be responsible for the sin.

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

Ask Mufti Online

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
