The ruling on traveling abroad for study in the presence of trials

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I want to complete my studies abroad, but there are trials there that I fear for myself, and my father wants me to go. Should I refuse his request, or should I comply with his command?

Answer:
This varies depending on the individuals. If the learning you are going to pursue is needed by people, and it is not available in our country or in the lands of the Muslims, and you are safe from trial because your wife is with you, and you are not a young person, and there is no harm to yourself, then there is no objection to going to the extent of the need and returning.
As for if you fear for yourself from trial and you are young, or if you fear for yourself, or if this learning is not necessary, or if this learning is available in the lands of the Muslims, then it is not permissible for you to travel to the lands of the disbelievers. And whatever you refrain from is undoubtedly better and more cautious for you. Yes.
