Can daughter attend male-taught madrasa if goal is doctor?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
My daughter is 14 years old and attending 9th standards madrasa. After Ramadan she will be in 10th standard. But all the teachers are male. What is your opinion continuing her madrasa? Is it haram? She is going to be in 10th standard in school. We are continuing her school and her wish is to become a doctor.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 831/846/L=08/1437)

When your daughter has turned 14 years of age then admitting her in such a school where male teachers are teaching is not correct. If you want to give her more education then choose a school with female teachers. I have heard that there are such schools in Gujarat and Aligarh etc where girls are taught in purdah. It is not a bad thing to seek knowledge but it is not correct to get it in coeducation atmosphere.

Allah knows Best!
