Women's Issues

Female doctor

Q: I’m a female doctor and I wanted to ask a couple questions.

I’ve finished my bachelors and completed my degree. I studied in a coed college where girls and boys were together and I didn’t wear a hijab in college. I wanted to know whether or not my degree is valid or not? Can I practice as a doctor or no? Are my earnings that I earn using the knowledge I received and my degree halal or no? Also, what about the money I earned from my practice as a doctor without wearing hijab? Is that money halal or no?

Irregular discharge

Q: I had a problem of irregular discharge. I used to experience yellow discharge almost every day. Depending on my previous habit, I used to count my tuhr days as 23 and my period days as 8. Last month, after my period ended on 29 January. I experienced discolored discharge on 30 and 31st January. Then I was totally clean for 15 days. After that I started bleeding on 15 February. I counted it as my period. And it ended on the 10th day on 25th February.

1. Was it correct for me to count my period from 15 February?

2. What will be my new tuhr habit and period habit?

Woman taking maximum precaution when leaving the home

Q: I was touched inappropriately by a bike rider while I was on a street. I was wearing an abaya and hijab. Is it due to some of my misconduct that Allah punished me or show me that I should seek forgiveness. I'm trying my best to avoid Haram things and doings. Then why all this happened??

I complained to the police just to report the incident, but can't proceed because I know the police here isn't that much effective. Kindly assist.
