What is the ruling on a mature Muslim girl, living in a disbelieving country, traveling alone to a Muslim country to seek religious knowledge and flee with her religion, with her mother's consent and her relationship with her father severed, and is it permissible for her to live with her married teacher or to live alone in student housing?
It is permissible for a girl to travel by plane alone to her Muslim country, fleeing with her religion and honor. Scholars have stipulated the permissibility of this for a woman in cases other than Hajj and Umrah, and when leaving a land of polytheism. As for her accommodation, she can stay in a student dormitory designated for them if it is safe and free from intermingling, or with her female teacher if this does not lead to intermingling with the teacher's husband or children.
