The answer

The answer summarizes the ruling on traveling and studying in non-Muslim countries as permissible under certain conditions. However, if a Muslim fears falling into temptation and committing fornication, it becomes obligatory for him to emigrate from those countries. In such a case, he is not bound to obey his parents in remaining there, in order to preserve his religion.
