Salaam,

Permissibility...  I cannot say it is forbidden, as my knowledge at this point would not allow me to say so.  All I can say based upon my knowledge is that it is in keeping with the family plan of Allah that women would avoid working outside the home in a general sense (unless they need to) (plenty of work to do in the home in terms of caring, cleaning feeding, husband relationship, (and if child involved) caring for and educating the child(ren) etc !!).  This would include therefore roles such as doctors etc.

However, medical, nutritional etc knowledge that is beneficial should be available to them.

The point brother is that we must aim with our intentions and effort to actualise the best guidance of Allah in our lives, and while deviating from this may not be forbidden, it would in my opinion be a poor route to take by choice.

I understand that Muslim ladies can find themselves needing to work these days, however they should view it as a means to an end, and not an end in itself.  And as stated before, I support them acquiring the knowledge and skills to allow themselves to gain employment should the need arise.

I hope I have answered your question.
