I´m a European Muslimah looking to move to a muslim country from Northern Europe in order to find a job in an all-female environment. I need to have quite a bit of money saved up to pay for an apartment etc abroad. Where I live, working environments are mixed. Would it be permissible to work in a store or in a kindergarden (female employees but mixed kids) or elsewhere to save money?
