Can a woman in purda teach deen in all-girls Muslim school with non-mahram male meetings?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftisays.com
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,

Respected Ulama: Is it permissible for a woman(in purda) to teach deen in an all-girls muslim school when she has to participate in meetings with non-mahram males?

Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Inspirer of Truth.
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

This is permissible provided that meetings are infrequent and conducted in a professional manner, i.e. no casual behaviour takes place. The veil (purdah) cannot be removed and the non Muslim staff must be aware of Islamic Etiquette especially the lowering of gazes etc. If at all possible, the seating arrangements should be conducive to the dictates of modesty.

It would not be permissible for her to work, if there is regular and frequent contact with males.

Allah (SWT) Knows Best.
