Your travel to this course involves several prohibitions: Residing in a land where evil acts are widespread, without a valid Sharia-compliant excuse, as it is possible to acquire knowledge in your own country. Traveling without a mahram, based on the hadith: "It is not lawful for a Muslim woman to travel a journey of a night unless she has with her a mahram." Residing with a British woman, and the danger that entails due to their corruption and moral decay. We do not find any permission for you in this travel due to the existence of these prohibitions and the absence of a compelling necessity for it.
