Q. If a woman cannot stay with her brother in law, and I have no other mahram, would I or could stay in a dorm? Since I have no person at all. In such a situation what would be best for me to do?
Answer: An all female dormitory would be preferred in such a situation. If possible, stay with other Muslimahs.
This is not recommended Islamic practice, but if this is the choices we are to choose form, then such would be our answer.
Allah Certainly Knows Best.
