Sheikh Hânî al-Jubayr, judge at the Jeddah Supreme Court
A woman is supposed to stay close to her guardians and not live away from them. This protects and safeguards her. It also discourages those who might wish to harm her.
However, if living away from her guardians presents an overwhelming benefit to her and she is at the same time reasonably guaranteed the safety of herself and her children, then we can pray that there will be nothing wrong with her living on her own away from her family.
I advise you, my dear sister, to try to convince one of your guardians to live with you so you can do what you have to do without having to live alone.
May Allah bless you with success.
