Question
Even if one does a correspondence course, exams have to be written in a hall where there will be females in the mix. Will it then not be permissible to do the correspondence course to acquire a degree?
Answer
Most certainly it will be haraam to pursue secular studies even by correspondence if it involves contravention of the Shariah. Pursuing the correspondence course is permissible, but being in the hall with women is haraam. This is the test for our Imaan. The dunya is the abode of trials.
