It is permissible for a woman to learn from a non- man under certain conditions: that there is no woman or mahram available to teach her, and that the study takes place from behind a veil if possible, along with ensuring safety from temptation and adhering to -compliant guidelines, such as avoiding private seclusion (), speaking softly, and forbidden glances. Wearing the niqab is obligatory, especially in this situation.
