Yes, it is good to get a specific ruling from a scholar then to rely on general rulings online I guess, since there may be differences between your situation and the situation of another fatwa.
Is it haram for a woman to live alone?

asalam alaikum wr wb,
I'm sure that's not the one bro. It went something like this...
A young woman was left in the care of an old man who was deemed very pious by the people. One day he decided that he should leave her some food (I think) outside her door. He used to knock and walk away. Soon, he decided there was no harm in asking how she is. Then decided there was no harm in talking to her etc.. and so it carried on until he commited sin. Can't remember the ending exactly, but it showed that when we do something that's forbidden, even if our intention is good, it can still lead us to haram.
Btw, I agree with your post about something things aren't haram but can lead to haram.
wa alaikum asalam.
Wa Alaykum Salam wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
I'm pretty sure its the same story, I recall that name and plus the story I heard goes like what you have discribed. It was a step by step thing, first dropped the food, then talked through the door, then without the door and so forth, then her brothers returned from Jihad or something and asked him where she was etc..
Another thing that was derived from the story is that shaytan does not always come directly, for example, if shaytan came to this man and said 'make sujuud to me' the man would have said no, but shaytan worked his way to it.
Allah knows best.

Asslamu Alikum
Please let us know what the scholar states. It would be good for future references and for other members to know as well.
fictional evidence is not evidence, and isolated cases are isolated cases.

He said it was not permissible. We said that my father would do the 'traveling' with me, take me there and take me back, and I'd stay at the girls only dorms in uni, in a muslim country. The scholar said he would not say it were permissible, that he was of the opinion that it wasn't.

Salam,
It might not be good for the woman to do, sometimes not very likely or normal in some countries etc. But for example me I have to live by myself, I will move to an own apartment this month inshallah because I have to start studies far away from home. If you want to move just because you don't want to be with your parents anymore, then I feel there is some problem between you and the parents only (not talking about you as a person, just you randomly). But if you have to, no other opportunity, then I don't feel it's wrong. But these are my thoughts.
