The questioner : What is the ruling on a woman continuing in the study of Islamic jurisprudence and other sciences?
The Shaykh : A woman is like a man in the study of Islamic jurisprudence, but in other sciences such as engineering, mathematics, and the like, we do not see that she should continue in them, because this will force her to take a job and come tomorrow to the planned exposures for construction, for standardization, and the like. What about medicine? No, medicine is a necessity. There is no harm in her learning it, because women are half of men, or even more than men... they need women.
