Question

Is studying after matric halaal for girls at a university?

Answer

In current times, universities are unsafe places for not only females, but for males as well. The environment and atmosphere are filled with immodesty and immorality, whether in clothing or behaviour. It is extremely difficult for someone to leave the university without getting affected.

Further, there are other cults and irreligious groups who try to promote their ideologies in universities and many unwary individuals get affected and thereby either lose their imaan entirely or damage it very severely. These are just a few of the multiple problems that students face at universities. Hence, will a wise and intelligent person gamble with his or her imaan, which is worth much much more than the entire world and what it contains, just to acquire a degree for earning some wealth of this world which is not even guaranteed, as there are many who have degrees and qualifications but have no jobs.

Therefore, our sincere advice is to make an effort to follow that path which will not only earn you Jannah, but it will also make the life of this world enjoyable and pleasant. This will be possible by keeping the lives of the illustrious sahaabiyyaat (radhiyallahu anhunn) as the benchmark to follow, and more in particular the azwaaj-e-mutahharaat and Hadhrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu anha).

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
