Women going overseas to study
Question
Can a woman go to Pakistan to do Islamic studies? Father wants to go with her and leave her alone and come back.
Answer
It is better for her to remain at home and do the necessary studies. There are so many people available here; there is absolutely no need for her to travel to Pakistan, live alone and expose herself to problems, difficulties, and nobody can rule out the intense fitnah of this day.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
