Is it obligatory for a female student to wear an apron during her university studies in chemical engineering, knowing that she wears a jilbab?
The Sharia does not obligate women to wear a specific type of clothing; rather, it stipulates that certain conditions must be met for it to be a legal hijab. If these conditions are not met in the “apron” and you are not allowed to wear the hijab, you can search for another specialization that permits you to wear what covers your body. For a Muslim, their religion is more precious, and adhering to the Sharia takes precedence, even if it means discontinuing one’s studies.
