A girl traveling to a country one hundred kilometers away for study

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it permissible for a girl to go to a country one hundred kilometers from her own for the sake of study? There is no deity but Allah.

The Shaykh:
No, no, no.

The questioner:
Yes.

The Shaykh:
She does not go except with a mahram (a relative one may not marry), based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travel forلا يحل لامرأة تؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر أن تسافر مسيرة
Sahih al-Bukhari 1088
for two days, except with a mahram, and one hundred kilometers is more than a two-day journey for a mount, yes, indeed.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good.
