| [slm] This post was inspired by a post in Naseeha corner. I was under the impression that a woman should not move away from her family under any circumstances, and live by herself. I've heard that if a woman moves out she must live with someone who is eligible to be her mahrim or some muslim family etc. What are the rulings??? I know that the prophet (SAW) said that one can even travel to China (indicating great distance) to seek knowledge but, he did not specify if this was for men or women or both... |

| [slm] I've just heard about this hadith. I will do a search and let you know if I find anything. So what about the mahrim for a woman? Is there no circumstance under which a woman can live by herself? |

| [slm] I think you have started this post after my question about moving away to university being a 18 year old girl. I'm I right? I am really worried because I really want to do medicine course and this is the only option that is to move out. I can't take my family down south with with because I have a disable sister and my father doesn't live with us making it impossible for my mum to start again some where new. From here I have got positive feedback saying that I can go, I really do not want to disrespect Islam my moving out alone. I would really like to know if it is allowed? I have really hoped to get in to medicine and become a doctor and this is the only I can do it. I other rote take a very long time and I am willing to do this but my family doesn't agree that I should stay studying for another 10/20 year to become a doctor, and I really wouldn't want to stay on studying for so long. Thank you for reading. |

| [slm] wa rahamtullahi wa barakatu, Q: My question is about a woman working a living with out a mahram in a county other than her own, bearing in mind that I work presently in the kindom and in my place of work, they are all women and I live in an internal section belonging to the place of work and they are all women as well. A: As for what you have done, there is no objection to it, because there is no harm or sin in a woman living in a country with out a mahram, especially if there is no danger in it. However it is prohibited for you to travel alone so do not travel except with a mahram and do not come to the country without a mahram. There is no doubt that a woman traveling without a mahram is a grave matter, in which there is danger, trial and temptation {fitnah}. There for we advise our sisters in islam to beware of it and not to travel without a mahram. We also advise them to beware of mixing with men, working with men and being alone with men. Ibn Baz Fee aman Allah, Amena |
