Anyone who carries citizenship, and is competent, whether male or female, Muslim or non-Muslim, can be appointed as a manager for an administration, a department, or a division, and to be a civil servant in it.

This has been taken from the rules regarding employment, since it is permitted to employ any employee, irrespective of being Muslim or non-Muslim, due to the generality of the evidences of employment; Allah (swt) said

“And if they breastfeed for you, then give them their payment.” (TMQ 65:6) which is general, and it is reported in Al- Bukhari from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger (pbuh) said

 قَالَ اللَّهُ: ثَلاثَةٌ أَنَا خَصْمُهُمْ يَ وْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ... وَرَجُلٌ اسْ تَأْجَرَ أَجِيرًا فَاسْ تَ وْفَى « » مِنْهُ وَلَمْ ي عُْطِ أَجْرَه

“Allah said: I am against three on the Day of Judgement…and a man who employed a worker and gets the full work out of him, but does not pay him his wage.” which is general and not specific to the wage of Muslims. The Messenger (pbuh) employed a man from Bani Al-Dayl who was upon the religion of his people, which indicates the permissibility of employing a non-Muslim in the same way as a Muslim. And in the same manner it is permitted to employ a woman in the same way that it is permitted to employ a man due to the generality of the evidences as well. Accordingly, it is permitted for a woman to be the manager of a department in a state department, and to be a civil servant in them, and it is permitted for a non-Muslim to be a manager of a department from the state departments as well as to be a civil servant, since they are employees, and the evidences for employment are general.
