It is permissible for a woman to go to an Islamic university (all female) to
study as long as she is escourted there by her male Mahram. Rasulullah
(Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam), ‘It is not allowed for a woman to travel a
day and night’s journey except with a Mahram.’ This is based on conditions
that there are no facilities for her to study in her country.
