Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: We are in a land of disbelief, and some of the Muslim women among us are studying in universities. These are co-educational universities with male professors. Is it permissible for these women to study in such a university?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for women to mix with men, sit with the students, and become as if they are one of the students. It is not permissible for this reason, meaning she should preserve herself, her honor, and her religion. Studies are not obligatory if they are facilitated with the Shari'ah regulations, praise be to Allah. If they are not facilitated, they are not obligatory. Yes.
