Woman becoming a doctor with the intention of helping other Muslim women
Question
Can a woman become a doctor with the intention of helping and nursing other women in full hijaab? What if we run a shortage of female doctors?
Answer
The right place for a woman is the home. No matter how noble the intentions are she cannot guarantee her safety once she steps out of the house.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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.
