university),when parent are also satisfied with that hostel’s

Answer:
Honarable sister,
Salam alaikum. Praises are to Allah.
Our scholars explain to us what is in the Quran and Sunnah, and it is incumbant on us to listen to them who have researched the matter for ages, and not be averse to them and try to bypass their explanations. Anyone that does not follow the ulema does not follow the way of prophet Muhammed, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him, but rather follows their nafs. We should all listen to the teachings of our noble ulema wholeheartedly, learn from them and become knowledgeable, and obey the rulings of Allah that are explained to us.
It is a wonderful things that you are doing with the Islamic studies, and I would encourage you to continue with them much. May Allah increase you in knowledge.
The text of the hadith prohibits a woman from travelling without a mahram, in your case you are not travelling, but rather a resident. You are staying in one place for more than 3 days. The prohibition would arise when you are travelling to and from the hostel.
The place where you are staying in the school, there are imams who will make sure that you are secure. Imams for sure obey Allah, and spread Allah’s commandments throughout the community. This is in contrast in staying in a different place where there are drunkards and criminals that may cause you harm.
As good advice, you should seek a husband that is good in his religion, and that is devoted to the ilm, and that obeys Allah. This way you and your whole family will stay on the tawheed (oneness of Allah), and raise children following Allah and His messenger, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him.
I pray to Allah to bless you and your family, and give you much goodness always.
And Allah knows. May Allah reward you. Salam alaikum wrb.
Shaikh Sajid
