Is traveling abroad for study, with the intention of preserving the hijab and avoiding mixed-gender work environments, considered an Islamic transgression, especially if it will lead to losing one’s mahram after the completion of studies, and is remaining in a non-Muslim country for work under conditions that observe Islamic guidelines better, or is moving to a Muslim country later on?
Parents must help their daughter adhere to her religion, and she should not obey them if they order her to remove her , because there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator.
Traveling abroad without a is forbidden. Whoever cannot preserve their religion in their country must migrate to a country where they can adhere to obedience to Allah, and they should first search for a Muslim country.
If a Muslim country is not available, residing in a non-Muslim country that allows one to preserve their religion is better than residing in a country that prevents religious commitment.
It is advised to make abundant supplication, and to search for a Muslim country, or to remain in the current country of residence if it is better for preserving one's religion, and to seek a righteous husband who will help in obeying Allah.
