Comment box: I think what she was asking was what would be a good major in college that would be good for a Muslimah.
For example I want to be a journalist but was told that it would not be a good major for a muslimah in her home life. So basicly what would be a good major? And what would you recommend to sisters who would be interested in getting married while in college?

Response:

Point one: We are not mind readers. Kindly excuse us.

Point two: As a general rule, we would not limit majors. Be part of a field that would maintain your inherent character. Chose a field that would make woman and children proud of your choices. Ex: dentist for helping out other woman, family law to aid woman and children in family matters, teaching in female schools, writer, pharmacist, professional chef to help woman master their skills, dress designer to improve the current fashion for our Muslim men and female audiences, etc.

Point 3: Marriage and studies seldom work out well. Focusing on one thing at a time does work out well. The sister should discuss prior to marriage as to the affect her studies would have on the institution of marriage. She must be mature enough to state the following: this is what I can do whilst i am in school; in the following areas I am to present a deficiency. Such clarity would aid in less of a heartbreak, deception, marital conflict, etc.

By contrast, if a person was married and then decided to attend college, such a decision must be made by both couples. Each person has a role within the family unit. These rules must be negotiated should roles change to avoid a strain upon the marriage.

Allah Ceratinly Knows Best.
