Question

Can a girl go to school and study in an American Univerity. Covering herself completely except the face viel. Please advise

Answer

It is most advisable for girls to study at home via some correspondence
course.

Generally the environment in the universities are not altogether conducive
to maintaining and strengthening one's Imaan. It is extremely difficult in
these trying times, particularly for a muslim female, to survive the strong
un-Islamic influences at campuses.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
