A Woman’s Study in Coeducational Universities

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on a woman studying in coeducational universities outside this country?

Answer:
It is not permissible for her to do so if the men sit next to the women on chairs or on platforms. It is not permissible for her to do so. She may only study in a university where the men are separate and the women are separate, or in a university exclusively for women.
