Is it okay for a Muslim girl to go university?

[Muslim Cupcake]

So in England exam results came out today and I got the grades I needed to get into my university choice. I prayed to Allah everyday to help me get in and he must have answered my duaa.
But then I read somewhere that Muslim girls can't go to university because they're not allowed to leave the house without permission of their husband. I'm way too young to be married so I'm guessing the next person who has authority over me is my dad. And he's given me his consent.
So is it halal for me to go university? Why would Allah answer my prayers if it was haraam?

Assalamu alaykum Muslim Cupcake,

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on getting your results :)

If your father gives you permission to attend university, then there's no problem at all.

Sis, university is halal, it's a place of learning and education and there is nothing haram about attending it.

I hope you have a great time attending university and I wish you success in your studies.

People shouldn't talk about Islam when they don't know!!!

University is halal? It has free mixing, rape, harassment, dating, etc. How is this halal?

The Ullema have spoken against attending a university where mixed gender gathering occurs. They advice to attend single sex universities and schools.

The premise in Fiqh is everything is halal unless proven haram.

If you claim that university is haram, please show me the evidence.

Also, if you think that university isn't halal due to freemixing, then is also going to the malls and parks haram?

Freemixing is haram period. Don't make it halal because people mix in mails etc...

There's something called a necessity. Free mixing is haram, depending on the condition and circumstances.

Are you suggesting now that this sister shouldn't go to university, because it's haram?

Free mixing is haram. Attending places (without a need) where free mixing happens is haram.

She can go, just let her remember that free mixing is haram, and ALLAH will forgive all sins expect shirk. If you make something from haram to halal, then you are a kafir.

Most muslim men/women hang with oppose gender because of their lack of knowledge of the religion or being misguide by someone.

Look, we're going to just have to agree to disagree here.

You believe university is haram, I don't.

Let's leave it at that, I don't want to argue further.

Am I a kafir now?

Don't talk to me again!

I never called you a kaffr, it's a fact that if you make something that is haram to halal, then you are a kaffr. Same thing as saying "if you don't agree with Koran, then you are a kaffr."

I don't know why it's hard for you to understand

Attending university is not clear cut haram, like alcohol, pork, etc.

There may be differences of opinions regarding this matter.

No, there is no agree to disagree. That's what western kuffar believe when one says homosexuality is okay and the other says it's not, then they agree to disagree. We have Islam and it's rules to tell us, and we have the Ullema to tell us.

The Ullema have said that it is haram to go somewhere where there is free mixing if there is no need. So, no University is not haram but a going to a mixed gendered one is. There are single sex universities but you don't want an education, you want to go to one where there are boys so mixed gatherings can occur, and dating can occur, and sex can occur, and then Muslim girls run to the surgeon to have a surgery done to restore their "virginity" and then they lie and pretend to be a virgin to get married to a righteous Muslim man.
