Is the work of a woman and her female administrative manager, while adhering to the legal hijab and avoiding khalwa (private seclusion with a man) as much as possible, considered forbidden if she is compelled to deal with men within the narrowest limits?

The basic principle regarding a woman's work is permissibility, provided it does not lead to temptation (fitna), cause her to neglect her duties towards her husband, children, and parents, and that the work itself is permissible and provides a genuine benefit to her or to the Muslim nation. It is not permissible for a woman to uncover her face in front of non-mahram (definition) men. The assessment of benefit and harm concerning a woman's work varies according to people's circumstances and their societies.
