A suburban St. Louis (Missouri) collection company has agreed to pay $65,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a former employee, a Muslim woman who claimed she was fired for refusing to remove a religious head scarf.
The agreement requires a revised dress code policy for the company, informing employees of the right to religious accommodation. Soultan was told no exceptions could be made to a dress code prohibiting head wear. She asked to be allowed to wear the scarf required by her religion.
"Allah rewards them according to the best of their deeds and adds even more for them out of His Grace: for Allah provides for those whom He wills, without restriction." --Qur'an 24:38
