This is absolutely 'Islamic' ..... We are living in 21st century and not in tribal 7th century Arabia. So please don't tell us what is 'Islamic' and what is 'not Islamic' ..... No one is saying to "employ every man and women" ...Even China and USA can't and won't do this. Regarding the bold part of your post .... interacting with "gair maharim" isn't that big of a deal. We are living a global village of 21st century. Allah will understand this and won't throw any girl to hell just because she was a civil engineer and while building bridges , she interacted with male engineers. For heaven's sake sir , this approach should be thrown away now..Girls working in industries , offices , resturants , call centers etc etc etc is NOT 'haram' .... Europeans used to criticize Muslims about how 'liberal' Islam was and how Muslim women had liberties.....at that time..Islam was the dominant force of the planet..Think about it. Women in Islam are never meant to just sit in home and raise kids..Their role in the society is way more than that... Obviously , family should be the priority...
