What is the ruling on a veiled woman working as a doctor in a mixed environment, and is her guardian sinful if she is obligated to work for five years in exchange for the state's sponsorship of her studies, knowing that her current guardian was not her guardian during the study period?

There is no objection to a woman working as a doctor if it adheres to the Shariah controls, and her guardian would not be sinful then. However, if it does not adhere to them, her guardian would be sinful if he allows her to perform this work.
