Comparing government schools and Christian schools for women who wear the hijab

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman from France who says: We have government schools in France, and they say that we girls cannot wear the hijab in these schools. There are also private Christian schools where we can wear the hijab. Her question is: Which is better?

Answer:
It is better for Muslims to establish schools for their daughters in the prescribed manner, and not go to schools that force the removal of the hijab, or to Christian schools; they should not go to them. They should have a school for their daughters, or keep their daughters at home, as studying is not obligatory. Studying is not obligatory. Yes.
