Should a female university professor continue her mixed-gender work, where she cannot avoid men and which obliges her to travel without a mahram to complete her master's degree, or should she resign?

Mixing between genders in the workplace is forbidden, and the questioner's thought of leaving her job to avoid this mixing indicates the soundness of her intellect. For religion takes precedence over money and status, and safeguarding one's religion is the true success. And whoever seeks Allah's pleasure, even if it incurs people's displeasure, Allah will spare him the burden of people. It is not permissible for a woman to travel without a mahram. The questioner's work involves two forbidden things: mixing between genders and traveling without a mahram. She must therefore leave it in obedience to Allah, for whoever gives up something for Allah's sake, Allah will compensate him with something better. Furthermore, a woman's stay in her home and her management of her husband's and children's affairs is a great work that requires diligence and effort, and acquiring religious knowledge is an honor for the student of knowledge.
