Is it better for a girl's religious well-being to stay at home—in accordance with the Almighty's saying: "And abide in your houses"—despite the accompanying negative psychological symptoms and obsessive thoughts regarding faith and acts of worship, than for her to go out to study or work in the field of pharmacy, knowing that her going out would be with the legal hijab and without mixing?
Leaving mixed-gender work is commendable, as Sharia distances unrelated men and women. A woman's going out for a necessity is not forbidden if she adheres to the Sharia guidelines, but it is better for her to remain at home as it is safer, unless a greater benefit results from her going out. A woman can occupy her time at home with reading, seeking knowledge, and beneficial deeds.
