Answered by: Mufti Muhammad Adnan

Question

Is it permissible for a Muslimah to study at a university with a mixed environment and male teachers? I’ve searched online all I found was it not being permissible if it is permissible then please provide evidence, and also for males why would it be permissible for him?

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer

As long as the laws of sharia are not violated, it would be permissible for a woman to go to college/university.
