What is the legal ruling on a girl traveling alone to study for several years in an open, secular foreign country?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
For a woman to travel for study, it is a condition that she be accompanied by a mahram during her journey, and that she be safe from fitna (temptation/strife) in the country to which she will travel. The mahram is required for travel, not for residence, and the woman must be safe in her place of residence.
