Question:
And another says: I am a young man, I have studies in America, and I will take my wife with me, so guide us to what is the most correct and best method for hijab there, since the hijab and the known abaya here attract a lot of attention, and this is about that.
Answer:
One of you, do not travel by yourself, do not travel, neither you nor your wife, sit in your country, learn here, and praise be to Allah, you are in danger by yourself, you are in danger before your wife, so we do not advise you to travel, neither you nor your wife, but sit in the country and learn in the universities that exist here, and praise be to Allah, and if there is a matter the state needs that is not in the universities, the state can send people known for knowledge, virtue, justice, and uprightness, and be with them and share with them so that they learn that specific knowledge that is not available with us.
As for the going of young men and young women to there, to Europe or America, it is the path of destruction, the path of calamities, so it is obligatory to be cautious, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the hadith and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the hadith
Residing among the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah) is very dangerous, the scholars have agreed on the prohibition of residing among the mushrikin, except for one who disavows their religion and knows his religion and recognizes his religion, and otherwise, who among the young men and young women knows his religion, and otherwise, who disavows their religion, and otherwise, who is trusted in that between the evil and the corruption and between disbelief and intoxicants and zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) and open sins, it is upon you, my brother, not to travel and to be cautious of travel, and to learn here, and learning here is sufficient, and praise be to Allah, and if there is a need for the state to learn a specific knowledge, it sends specific people known for knowledge and virtue so that they call to Allah there and teach the people there and guide them to Allah, and they are with this known for goodness and uprightness and sound mind and the knowledge by which they guide the people and teach the people, with care for this matter by sending someone to supervise them and their works. Yes.

(peace and blessings be upon him) I am innocent of every Muslim who resides among the mushrikin.
صلى الله عليه وسلم أنا بريء من كل مسلم يقيم بين المشركين.The other authentic hadith: Allah does not accept the work of a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) after he has become a Muslim.
