Is a veiled girl obligated to complete her university studies despite her unwillingness to do so due to the mixing and harassment she is exposed to, and her preference for limiting herself to studying the sciences of the Qur'an?
We congratulate the questioner on her uprightness and commitment to the hijab. Mixing in universities is evil, corrupt, and a path to temptation. If it is possible to complete studies by attending only examinations, that is good, pleasing the parents and achieving benefit. But if there is no way to escape temptation, then the interest of preserving religion takes precedence, and obedience to parents is not permissible then, because obedience is only in what is good and lawful. It is advisable to hasten to marriage due to the benefits it holds for religious and worldly matters, and studies should not be an obstacle to marriage. There is no harm in a woman or her guardian searching for husbands.
