Will I be sinful if I prevent my daughter from completing her education due to the widespread deviance in schools? And is the saying "Whoever wants to deviate will deviate, even if in the sanctity of his own home" correct? And should my daughter complete her education if we return?
It is imperative to diligently raise children with a sound Islamic upbringing. Therefore, a daughter's education in mixed-gender schools in disbelieving countries is a grave prohibition, especially during adolescence, as it impacts one's religion and conduct. Hence, it is advised to return to Muslim countries, for no matter how many transgressions may be found there, they remain Islamic lands where a Muslim can safeguard their religion and monotheism. It is also easier to find non-mixed education for girls there, and one's focus should be on preserving one's religion and honor.
