1- You can finish your study as long as you avoid unlawful mingling with men and as long as you wear your hijab.

2- The default rule that a Muslim man does not unnecessarily speak to a Muslim woman who is not a close relative of his or his wife. If there is a need for a woman to speak to a man such as for buying or selling something or for a reason in their profession, there is no harm.

The female Companions of the Prophet participated in the battle fields and wounded injuries of men. A Muslim woman in this case should be aware that she abides by Islamic rules of hijab and khalwah. She must not extend her talks with men on topics outside profession or travel with them without having a mahram. In all cases, I suggest if she can find a job where she works only with women, it is highly preferable, because she may fall in trial easily.

 

3- The basic and default rule is that a woman should remain at home, and not go out except for a reason. Allah says “And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance” (Al-Ahzab 33:33)

Although this is addressed to the wives of the Prophet (peace be upon him), it also applies to the believing women.

It is permissible for a woman to go out of her house for work after fulfilling certain conditions which include the following:

1. She is in need for work.
2. Her work should be suitable for her nature.
3. Her work does not include unlawful mingling with men which may expose her to harassment.
4. She must observe her hijab.
5. Her work should not lead to her travelling without a mahram.
6. Her going out to work should not involve committing any haraam action, such as being alone with the driver, or wearing perfume where non-mahrams can smell it.
7. That should not lead to her neglecting things that are more essential for her, such as looking after her house, husband and children.

 

4- There is no problem on doing so simply because she can do all those designs even without leaving her home.

 

5- Yes by following the conditions I mentioned above.

6- When knowledge is mentioned in the Prophet’s hadiths, it mostly refers to religious knowledge, which is certainly better than any type of knowledge because it draws a person closer to Allah and get him reap eternal happiness in this life and the hereafter. Other types of knowledge may be a blessing if a person engages in them for a noble purpose such as serving Islam and Muslims or for getting closer to Allah by deepening faith in Him by contemplating over His endless favors and creations.
