The answer

The mixing of men and women in universities is forbidden (haram). It is incumbent upon the guardian of a girl to prevent her from enrolling in such universities, in order to preserve her religion. There is no injustice to her in this; rather, the injustice lies in disobeying the law of Allah. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "There is no servant whom Allah has made a guardian over a flock, and he dies while he was deceitful to his flock, but Allah will forbid Paradise for him." And Allah, the Almighty, says: "O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones." Teaching girls the Quran and instructing them in matters of their religion are among their most emphasized rights.
