Women's Issues

Women attending functions

Q: We are encouraged to accept invitations for meals and not to reject it as it is a Sunnah to accept such invitations.

What about women? Should they accept such invitations and go with with their mahrams? Or women should avoid leaving their houses for this reason?

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?
