Girls living in a girls hostel while studying
Question
Can I live in a hostel with my sister for higher education?
Answer
A girl's place is the home. It is not in keeping with the standards of modesty and shame for a girl to live out of her home and away from the protection of her parents and guardians.
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.
