Aslam

Praise be to Allah.In several previous answers

we have discussed the ruling on mixing at work and in places of study.

Please see the answer to question no.

1200 and 103044.

With regard to your

problem, if you cannot leave school because of your social situation, then

you must look for another branch or faculty of the university where the

opportunities to deal with males and mix with them will be less, because the

basic principle of sharee’ah is that if evil cannot be warded off entirely,

then it must be reduced as much as possible.

If you cannot manage to

make this change that we have suggested, then you have to observe complete

hijab, lower your gaze and be chaste of speech in all circumstances, and

reduce the opportunities of mixing with males. If you need something, then

ask females for it, and try to work out something with your professor so

that your projects will be done with female classmates.

If that is not possible,

then it will be your responsibility to careful and mix less with men; beware

of being alone with one of them, even if it is for the purpose of study, and

keep your dealings with males to a minimum. If you are able to refuse to mix

with them sometimes or for some work, then do that. Let your dealings be

serious and do not let them get to know you or let the conversation go

beyond the topic of study.

If you feel that you are

becoming fond of someone or he is becoming fond of you, then leave this

group and join another, even if your grades fall or your level of academic

achievement is affected, within bearable limits.

Ask Allaah to protect you

and help you to avoid temptations both obvious and hidden, and seek help

with patience, prayer, fasting and remembrance of Allaah (dhikr).
