Is it acceptable for a Muslim woman who wears hijab to take part in a charity walk for breast cancer? I would be walking with women. The money goes to a women's breast center at a Catholic hospital where I had treatment for breast cancer. I am a one-year survivor of stage 3 breast cancer, and it is important to me to do this.

Salam,

There is no prohibition to work/collaborate with non Muslim individual or organization to do any "good deed" including breast cancer awareness activities, AIDS awareness etc. Even such cooperation is encourage to get the betterment of human society.
