Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1607/1607/M=1431)

If a woman does lawful job in exigent cases observing the shariah limits, her job and income will not be termed as haram but the income shall be halal. However, it is not lawful for a woman to step out of home unnecessarily and face non-mahram men without observing purdah etc.
