The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A man lives in the lands of the disbelievers, and in these lands they prohibit hijab in the schools; his daughters uncover their faces. His question is: Does the sin fall on the father or on the daughters?
The Shaykh:
It falls on all of them. It is not permissible to uncover the hijab. They are committing a forbidden act for the sake of studying. This is not permissible. Muslims establish special schools for themselves in the lands of the disbelievers and educate their daughters in them.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Education is not obligatory. Hijab is more obligatory. Yes.
