The question

Are the changing of feelings towards people (from love to hate or vice versa), the fluctuation in the level of devotion during prayer, the fear of showing off in good deeds, in addition to falling in love with a teacher despite knowing his commitment, and the accidental touching of hands sometimes, considered a struggle between the self and Satan, and how can one strive against the self in such cases?

The answer

A woman's heart becoming attached to a non-mahram man is not without two scenarios: If it occurred without any effort on her part and she adhered to the Sharia regulations, then she is rewarded. If it was due to her own effort and negligence in interacting with non-mahrams, then she is sinful. She must be careful of any action that might cause temptation with the professor, and it is not permissible for them to be in seclusion (khalwa) or to touch. If studying in a mixed-gender school is necessary, then she must adhere to Islamic manners.
