Is it permissible for a bachelor's degree student to join the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy despite the widespread display of 'awrah (parts of the body that should be covered), mixing with women, and the possibility of not praying on time?

Specializing in the study of medicine and similar fields is a great matter that the Ummah needs. A Muslim should search for institutions where there are no abominations. If he does not find such, then he should strive to lower his gaze and avoid temptations. As for prayer, the student can ask permission to perform it on time. If that is impossible—which is unlikely—then he must abandon this study.
