The answer

The husband is obliged to fulfill the conditions agreed upon with his wife, especially those that benefit her, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The conditions most worthy that you fulfill are those by which you make intimacy lawful," and "Muslims are bound by their conditions." So, if it was agreed that the wife would complete her education, he must fulfill that, whether by allowing her to do so or by bearing the costs, according to the original agreement. Both spouses are advised to be understanding and cooperative. As for taking the wife to her place of study, he is not obliged to do so unless it was part of the conditions. The husband is advised to treat her kindly to strengthen their love.
