Is being a lawyer a suitable profession for women?
Some laws may not be in accordance with religion, so is there any harm in being a lawyer? I'm a little confused as to whether these kinds of jobs are suitable for women. I have a good oratory, I am a sociable person. I think I can be a lawyer, but I don't know if it's appropriate for our religion.
Yes, the field of law is risky “in terms of its content”. It may be risky once again due to the situation in the country. A third risk will be the professional difficulties that women will suffer on that thorny path. Despite this, we cannot say that "she cannot do that job" for a woman who can protect her faith, Muslim stance and herself in a good environment, but who can take that risk by relying on what everyone should appreciate on their own.
