Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes.
The questioner : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on a girl who studies at a university located seventy kilometers from home, and she resides in the university’s internal dormitories, and it is known that she observes the hijab? What is your opinion on this matter?
The Shaykh : What we hold is that it is permissible for a female student to reside in the female students’ dormitory. Because what we hear is that this housing is secure and is under supervision and protection; this is what we hear. And if the specific girl sees something that necessitates leaving the student dormitory, let her leave.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes.
