Question

Do you'll have any article/detailed fatwa explaining the impermissibility of women attending university to become doctors, with the reason that 'we need Muslim female doctors'. Many have this understanding. Even some ulama. How should one reply to them?

Answer

We have prepared a detailed article regarding women studying in universities. For further details refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/19114

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Ask Mufti Online

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
