Woman becoming a doctor with the intention of helping other Muslim women

Q: 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?

A: 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.
