Secular Education

Woman working as a nurse

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?

Studying iridology

Q: I would like to enquire if it is permissible to study a diploma in Iridology. It's got to do with diagnosing conditions by looking into a persons eye to detect nutrional deficiencies and conditions etc. Please advise if Iridology is permisible within shariah especially when it comes to our Aqaaid.

Advice for children to learn

Q: Please help me with any dua or wazifa to make the brain strong for reading, understanding and implementing.

1. My 4 year old kid is not learning anything at all and is very stubborn. I believe his mind is not towards studying. Please suggest a wazifa to sharpen his brain to study well.

2. For myself, I am 36 years old and I want an upgrade in my career and want to learn some courses. Please suggest a wazifa so that I can also concentrate on my studies as my brain is also not sharp in studies.
