Hijab is fardh brother and not wajib; wajib is slightly lesser [in terms of obligation] than fardh

Actually, I think only the Hanafis make a distinction between wajib and fardh. However, both are such that one is sinful for leaving the act. http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.a...&ID=972&CATE=4

The ruling of a wajib is deserving punishment for leaving it [like the fard], not declaring as an unbeliever the one who denies it�s necessary nature [due to the probabilistic nature of the evidence; unlike the fard whose denial does cause unbelief if done so knowingly], and reward for it�s accomplishment [like the fard]. It�s specific ruling in the prayer is that the prayer is deemed deficient by leaving a wajib element. It is necessary to perform a prostration of forgetfulness if omitted forgetfully or to repeat the prayer if omitted intentionally. In the case that one neither prostrates for forgetfulness nor repeats the prayer, one is still counted as having offered the obligatory prayer though with deficiency [and doing so is sinful]. [Imdad al-Fattah, 256] I was just using it in the linguistic sense, but thanks for pointing this out.

Anyway, I think I've gotten my point across about the whole women working/hijab issue. I don't plan to post anymore in this thread.
