Can men and women be friends in heaven, or is it still prohibited? If so, would women still be required to wear Hijab in heaven?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Paradise is the place of every good act and every noble thought as Allah mentioned in Quran that all ill feelings will be removed away from the chests of people of Paradise (Al-A'raaf, verse 43 and Al-Hijr, verse 47).

Friendship between man and woman who is not Mahram to him will not be imagined in Paradise and no one in Paradise will think about it because it is not a noble thought. Women with out Hijab is also not a noble thought so no woman in Paradise will think about about it.

I have an upcoming ear surgery for which it is necessary for me to refrain from wearing anything on my head during the procedure. Would it be considered allowed for me to completely remove my Hijab due to this necessary requirement?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

If it is a necessary procedure, and you have no control over the medical staff all being females, then you are allowed to undergo the surgery. Just try to ask the nurse or an accompanying family member to try and cover you as much as they can.

May Allah ta'ala grant you shifa` and speedy recovery.

And Allah knows best.
I work as a teacher in France, where removing the Hijab is a requirement for teachers. In this case, would my salary be considered allowed since I am being paid for my teaching skills rather than my physical appearance?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You as a Muslim female is responsible to obey the rules of Allah including wearing full Hijab where ever you can be seen by any non Mahram (outsider) man. This responsibility is more important than doing any specific job which prevents you from obeying Allah, as far as there are other jobs which don't prevent you.

If you teach in a girls school where no man can see you with out Hijab, then it is permissible because you don't need to wear Hijab among females, but you must be sure that no man at all can see you with out Hijab.

If the job exposes you to men and forces you not to wear Hijab, you should look for another job which does not prevent you from obeying Allah (SWT).
