Female Scholars and Students of Knowledge

Many people ask, "Where are the female scholars?" (especially in the West). Below is a list (to be updated regularly) of the names of conservative/ Orthodox/ traditional female scholars and students of Islamic knowledge. They either have degrees or ijaazaat in various Islamic sciences - note that this list does not include those who have earned their background in Islamic studies through secular academic institutes.
