Is it permissible for a woman to travel to distant places and sit without a mahram in order to seek Islamic knowledge?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh. Is it permissible for a woman to study Islamic knowledge in one of the girls' institutes far from her city, traveling with a mahram and residing in the student dormitory, and then the mahram returns to his city?

The Shaykh : If the residence is safe and has security guards, there is nothing wrong with it. But if it is not safe, it is not permissible.
Also, even if it is permissible, a person should observe the woman; for example, he should go to her once a week to look and check, because you know that people nowadays are not trustworthy as they should be. Yes, that is right.
