Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a young Muslim in Britain to study at a university where men and women are mixed? It is known that this young man is religious and intends, after graduating, to obtain a job and spend in the cause of Allah and benefit Islam and Muslims?

Answer:
It is not permissible for him to study in a school, college, or university where there is mixing between men and women, between young men and young women, because of the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and the corruption of morals and chastity that this entails. Since he wants the degree, there are universities, there are schools, and there are places without mixing; he should go to them and study there. Yes.
