The Ruling on Studying in Mixed Schools

Question :

I am a student studying abroad and the university in which I study is mixed (men and women). My question is: Is it permissible for me to study in this university?

Answer:

We advise the Muslim who desires salvation. for himself to avoid the causes of evil and temptation; and there is no doubt that mixing with young women in schools is one of the causes which lead to the occurrence of corruption and the spread of adultery and fornication. If a person tries to preserve himself, he will encounter difficulty; but if a person is put to trial by this, he must be vigilant, keep away (from the source of temptation), avert his gaze, protect his private parts and avoid being near women as much as he can. And Allah knows best.
