A Woman's Travel to a Foreign Country on a Scholarship
What is the ruling on a woman going to a foreign country on a scholarship without a mahram, knowing that there is safe accommodation for female students?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: A woman's travel and residing in a place other than her family's location involves many temptations and dangers, so travel is only permitted in special cases where there is a clear need and necessity, and this is not one of them. God knows best.
