Q: I am a Muslim woman who is training to be a nurse. I was wondering if it is halaal to work as a nurse. I will have to work and have contact with male patients. The work clothes are also not completely covering, so men can see my arms.
Is the money I get as a nurse halaal? Should I continue studying as a nurse or switch to another career?
A: We do not at all encourage women leaving their homes and working in such dangerous environments where their reputation and chastity may be compromised.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
