Ruling on Women Studying Engineering and Chemistry

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a girl to study in some fields of natural sciences, such as chemistry, physics, and others?

Answer:
A woman should not specialize in what is not her concern, and there are many fields available to her that are suitable for her, such as Islamic studies and the rules of the Arabic language.
As for the fields of chemistry, engineering, architecture, astronomy, and geography, they are not suitable for her. She should choose what benefits her and benefits her society. Also, men prepare for her what concerns her, such as women's medicine, obstetrics, and others.
