قُلْنَا: لَا، وَمَنْ يَقُولُ: لَا بُدَّ أَنْ تَدْرُسَ؟!

We said no. Who insists that she must attend school?

فَالذَّهَابُ إِلَى الْمَدْرَسَةِ الَّذِي يَسْتَلْزِمُ الْوُقُوعَ فِي الْمُحَرَّمِ حَرَامٌ، فَيَجِبُ أَنْ تَبْقَى فِي بَيْتِهَا وَلَا تَذْهَبَ مَعَ السَّائِقِ وَحْدَهَا، فَهَذَا حَرَامٌ، وَهِيَ تَسْتَطِيعُ إِذَا كَانَ مَعَهَا مَبَادِئُ عِلْمِيَّةٌ أَنْ تُرَاجِعَ فِي بَيْتِهَا وَتَنْتَسِبَ إِلَى الْمَدْرَسَةِ.

Attending school is forbidden if it leads to prohibited actions. She must stay home rather than travel alone with a driver, as that is forbidden. If she already possesses basic knowledge, she can study at home and enroll in the school as an external student.

وَيُخْشَى - إِلَى حَدٍّ كَبِيرٍ - عَلَى مَنْ يُمَكِّنُ أَهْلَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ انْتِزَاعُ الْغَيْرَةِ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ عَلَى مَحَارِمِهِ، وَالْعِيَاذُ بِاللَّهِ.

There is a grave fear that anyone who allows his family to do this will lose the sense of protective jealousy for his female relatives. We seek refuge in Allah from that.
