The Ruling on the Education of Girls

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Because of the evil in it, even if the evil were to diminish and what remained were only good.

Answer:
We have said nothing about it, so mixing the wireless with the dash is a clear form of deception. Yes.
Likewise, the education of girls in matters of their religion and their interests is not prohibited. What is prohibited is free mixing, immodesty, and other forbidden matters. As for the education of girls, if it is free from what is impermissible, there is nothing wrong with it. It may even be obligatory, for they are Muslims and in need of knowledge and of what benefits them. The education of girls in itself is not blameworthy. The blameworthy thing is when it is mixed with something that is not education. I mean, is uncovering the hijab part of the education of girls? Is their mixing with men or with male students part of the education of girls? Do not mix the truth with falsehood, or the beneficial with the harmful. Do not mix this with that. If the education of girls is free from prohibitions, it is either recommended or obligatory. Yes. The important thing is if there is good in it.
