Okay, here is my situation. I live in the US- born and raised. I'm 16 and have never had a job before. I wear a hijab and long, loose clothes. I want a job over the summer working at my school- only for 6 weeks and a couple of hours a day. I will be working with WOMEN SECRETARIES (NO GUYS) and will make over $800. I really need money and that is A LOT of money for me. All I have to do is file papers and other paperwork like that, but my dad still won't let me get the job. I've talked to him and he just laughs in my face. I don't get an allowance or anything and again I say, really need the money. My mom is also kind of hesitant about this because she thinks girls should not work/have job and she thinks it is against Islam for girls to work. She says if I was working inside the house, that's okay, BUT WHAT KIND OF JOB can I get working in the house??? NONE! What is you opinion on this situation? Should I be allowed to work or not and do you believe Muslim girls should work?
