In an increasingly diverse and multicultural work environment, practicing Muslims often encounter situations that require careful adherence to Islamic legal principles. This module serves as a comprehensive refresher on key jurisprudential (Fiqh) rulings relevant to the modern workplace, based on the edicts of Ayatullah Syed Ali al-Husaini al-Sistani (dz).
Some of the areas that will be touched upon include:
Purification (Ṭahārah): Guidelines on purifying clothes, utensils, and other objects using various types of water, especially when they come into contact with impurities in a work setting.
Prayer (ṣalāḥ): Instructions on praying under challenging circumstances, including when one may pray with impure clothing as well as items upon which it is permissible to prostrate.
Fiscal Matters: Examination of financial obligations such as the application of Khums on pensions, ethical considerations in tax matters, and the permissibility of various banking practices.
Dietary Rules: Clarification on what types of food are permissible to consume, particularly when offered by non-Muslim colleagues.
Gender Interaction and Dress Code: Insight into the rulings concerning interactions with the opposite gender, including appropriate dress and Hijab requirements.
This module is designed as a practical guide for Muslims seeking to align their workplace conduct with their religious obligations, offering clarity on how to maintain their faith while engaging in everyday professional activities.
