    Arsalan Khan,

    Let me first welcome you to this great site!

    Adaab Arz!!

    She is allowed to work, in the conditions where she does not violate the religious and moral values of basic Islamism. Yeah, the money, she will earn will be HALAL.

    If you have any question regarding what should she wear and how should she behave, you are welcome to ask. Good Luck!

    Praise be to Allaah.

    Firstly:

    The basic principle is that a woman better remain at home, and not go out except for necessary purposes. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

    And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance

    [al-Ahzaab 33:33].

    Although this is addressed to the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), it also applies to the believing women. It is only addressed to the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) because of their honour and status with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and because they are examples for the believing women.

    And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said concerning a woman's prayer in the mosque: “Their houses are better for them.” Narrated by Abu Dawood (567) and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

    Secondly:

    It is permissible for a woman to go out of her house for work, but that is subject to certain conditions. If they are met, it is permissible for her to go out. They are:

    - That she needs to work in order to acquire the money she needs, as in your case.

    - The work should be suited to the nature of woman, such as medicine, nursing, teaching, sewing, and so on.

    - The work should be in a place that is only for women, and there should be no mixing with non-mahram men.

    - Whilst at work she should observe complete shar'i hijab.

    - Her work should not lead to her travelling without a mahram.

    - Her going out to work should not involve committing any haraam action, such as being alone with the driver, or wearing perfume where non-mahrams can smell it.

    - That should not lead to her neglecting things that are more essential for her, such as looking after her house, husband and children.

    If these conditions are met in your work, then there is nothing wrong with you doing it in sha Allaah.

    And Allaah knows best.
