A daughter’s study in a coeducational university and uncovering the face

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I have five daughters, three of whom are in secondary education. One of them completed the general secondary school this year and will enter university in Egypt. She is wearing the hijab, and uncovering the face is prohibited in Egypt. What is the ruling? Should she stay at home, or not complete her studies, since the university here did not accept anyone other than a Saudi?

Answer:
If the study is with girls and it is not coeducational, there is no harm; she may uncover her face in front of the girls. But if it is coeducational with boys, no. She should not study. Studying in an environment of this corruption and evil is not to be done. If there is a women’s study place, that is sufficient, even if it is not enough. Then, if she studies with the boys on their chairs, with the males, that means corruption and evil. The government accepts it, but on a limited scale; it accepts girls from within, but in a limited percentage, not everyone. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
