The answer

Emigration to non-Muslim countries is not permissible unless the emigrant is enabled to practice their religion and is safe from the temptations of desires and doubts. The prohibition becomes stronger if the matter concerns a woman. Likewise, it is not permissible for a woman to abandon the hijab for the sake of studying. It is permissible to request a personal photograph of a woman for a permissible purpose and a legitimate need, provided that the photograph is modest and shows only what the need necessitates.
