Do a Muslim girl's perceptions of worldly success – which include excelling in co-educational studies, studying medicine in a mixed environment, and learning programming, to become a doctor and a freelancer – align with the rulings of Islamic Sharia, and how can a woman achieve worldly success in a way that is consistent with it?

A woman's religiosity and righteousness do not conflict with her studying and specializing in civil and applied sciences. In fact, her excellence in these fields can help her do good, provided Islamic guidelines are observed. This is especially true in the field of medicine, as women need trustworthy female doctors. There is no objection to studying in a mixed-gender university when necessary, provided Islamic guidelines are adhered to.
