The ruling on a woman going out for study and exams, and wearing adornment

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a student who is boycotted to go to take the exam?

The Shaykh:
Being boycotted is not permissible. Being boycotted against Allah and His Messenger is not allowed. The one who is boycotted is in a serious situation. Yes.

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a student who is boycotted to go to study and take the exam? And is it permissible for her to wear clothes with a little adornment when she goes out to the university? Because it is difficult for her to go to the university in front of the girls in her shirt or in a very plain dress.

The Shaykh:
Or with a garment.

The questioner:
Very ordinary.

The Shaykh:
As for her going out for the exam, there is nothing wrong with it, because this is a need and a necessity; there is nothing wrong with her going out and taking the exam. As for her wearing clothing that is adornment, it is not permissible; it is not permissible, it is forbidden for her to do so. She should wear covering clothing that has no adornment and no perfume, and she should not care if people criticize her. This is a religious ruling; she does not have to heed the criticism of the female teachers or so-and-so or so-and-so. These people are ignorant, and their criticism does not count. So she goes out in covering clothes with no adornment and no perfume. Yes, and she does not go out with all of it. Yes.
