[quote]Salaam,

Let me start with your last sentence: -

[quote]GOD knows better....[/quote]

I agree, but you don't.  Read the link to the article on the husband and wife relationship that I posted.  In it, it is demonstrated that the role of women is tied to the home, and the role of men is the bread winners.

The pattern for the family that Allah sets out is simple, clear and leaves no room for negotiation.

It is you who is working backwards, you are looking for reasons why you think women should go out to work, instead of looking at what Allah says.  You then make your own ahwaa' (desires etc) the guide for your opinion and not the revelation of Allah.

Unless you can demonstrate that my understanding of Allah's guidance is wrong on this, and I am confident you cannot, all the rest of your justifications are completely irrelevant.  Women for thousands of years have survived with male doctors, in Muslim and other countries.

The fact is, needing to go to the doctor is an exceptional circumstance that offsets the issue of modesty.  Lady police officers?  They are not as effective a male police officers.  Ever notice how when a female police officer is patrolling that a male officers is almost always with her and not a female officer?  Ever wonder why?

If a police officer unduly searches a female he should be punished, simple.  You are simply looking for reasons to justify your desire to work and/or see women work.  The point is, you cannot mesh that desire with the reality of Allah's guidance.  Even though you do say that God knows best.

Women should be educated in a manner that useful and not wasteful.  They should learn enough to teach their children if needs be.  They should learn Qur'an and Arabic and have access to any knowledge they can read and understand.  They can learn all the aspects of home economics, nutrition and so on.  They can learn what can benefit them and their community, but they may not compete with men for work roles, and may not compete with their husband as the breadwinner and head of the family.

Men should be the ones getting the places for medicine and such, as they are the best at it on the whole and are more likely to do the harder jobs better.  There are many women in the west doing medicine (almost more than men, at least in my country), but they mostly go for easy things like GP etc, then they will regularly drop out to have kids and may stay away.  It is the men who end up doing most of the challenging roles anyway, like surgery, medicine and obstetrics and gynaecology.  So even if women do medicine, they will tend to easy stuff anyway.

Make note of my statements in the previous post to sista also.

Regardless of my comments on female doctors etc.  You must demonstrate that my understanding of Allah's guidance on this is wrong, or your attempted justifications are futile.

Salaam
