The answer to your question is as follows:
Islam urges Muslims to acquire the knowledge of medicines and drugs to protect the living body from diseases. Ulama, due to its importance, regarded it as Farze Kifaya.
Muslim societies are without doubt in dire need of Muslim lady doctors for checkups and treatments. Muslim woman who observe parda and have never been open to strangers, hesitate to visit the male doctors and feel very shy to express their private problems to them, and indeed it is due to their modesty. Hence, Muslim women’s interest in attaining medicine knowledge meets a big objective of shariah and it is highly admirable in shariah.
You can choose whatever is more convenient to you. But before proceeding to become an obstetrician and gynecologist, you must know that there are some shariah rules about abortion.
Conducting an abortion may be permissible before the fetus has reached 120 days only when a trustworthy physician decides that the continuation of pregnancy poses risk to the mother's life or health. Thereupon, it is permissible to conduct an abortion to preserve the mother's life. However in the case the fetus has reached 120 days, it is not permissible to conduct an abortion even if it is medically diagnosed with congenital defects. Conducting an abortion when the age of the fetus has reached 120 days is considered killing a soul which Allah has forbidden in the Holy Quran. Killing a soul without right is absolutely a grave sin and both parties could be sinner.
ان احدکم یجمع فی بطن امہ اربعین یوما ثم علقۃ مثل ذلک ثم یکون مضغۃ مثل ذلک ثم یبعث اللہ ملکا فیومر باربع برزقہ واجلہ وشقی او سعید (بخاری شریف)۔
ھل یباح الاسقاط بعد الحبل یباح مالم یتخلق شیئ منہ ثم فی غیر موضع ولایکون ذلک الا بعد مائۃ وعشرین یوما انھم ارادوا بالتخلیق نفخ الروح (کذا فی الشامی و فتح القدیر)

The reward of charity is for the one who gives charity. However, at the time of giving a charity you have the intention that you are giving it on behalf of your wife then she will be rewarded for it. Therefore, while giving alms, make the intention that you are giving some Sadaqa on your own behalf and some sadaqa on the behalf of your wife, so that both may be rewarded.

The answer to your question is as follows:
Seeing a monkey in a dream is a sign of being confronted with cunning enemies. And somehow, for the sake of protection, it indicates that victory over these enemies can be achieved through Wazifa and Zikr. Therefore, you should keep reciting the words suggested in dreams as much as possible during the day hours. In addition, before sleeping, recite Surah Ikhlas, Surah Al-Falaq and Surah Nas and blow on your body. It can also be an indication of a deadly disease. May Allah protect us and keep us safe!

You are a Muslim and bound by Shariah, it is not permissible for you and all Muslim participants to take fixed profit, similarly it is not permissible to give fixed profit to a person be it a Muslim or non-Muslim; since, both taking and giving interest are forbidden for a Muslim, therefore a Muslim cannot give a fixed interest to even a non-Muslim.

بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم: محض آڈیو کی بنیاد پر جرم ثابت نہیں ہوسکتا ہے، آڈیو وغیرہ جعلی بھی تیار کرائے جاسکتے ہیں، حالانکہ جرم کے ثبوت کے لئے ایسی قوی دلیل کا ہونا لازم ہے جس میں کسی قسم کا شبہ نہ ہو، اگر وہ اس آڈیو کا اقرار کررہاہے یا دیگر شرعی شہادت موجود ہے جرم کا ثبوت ہوجائے گا۔

The answer to your question is as follows:
Law education is also a part of religious education. As other sciences are recommended in Islam, the law education is also permissible for Muslim women. Gaining law education is not a problem in itself, but the method of obtaining legal education needs to be pondered upon. If any alternative is available at home, it is better to stay at home and seek knowledge; otherwise, one should enroll in an institution where there is a segregated system of education with hijab.
In case, one becomes a lawyer, it is mandatory to take full care of what is halal and what is haram and completely avoid lying. Going out for fighting case in the court is not suitable for a young woman and surely it is against wisdom too.
The way the Islamic values are being violated in the name of higher education today is very tragic. Unless there is a suitable environment for learning, simply running after higher education is nothing but a materialistic approach.

The answer to your question is as follows:
Difficulties are a part of life; the servants of Allah should not despair of Allah in any circumstances and should rely on Allah in order to live their lives in this world. One should always keep in mind that this world is short, tolerating people's words and being kind to relatives are among the basic teachings of Islam. Pay attention to the five daily prayers, recite the Holy Quran, say 100 times Durood Sharif and 100 times Istighfar, and pray to Allah. Also read “Rabbna Aatina fid dunya hasanah and fil aakhirati hasanah wa qina azaaban Naar” time and again. God willing, all problems will be solved soon.
