Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. The author of this letter says: Sometimes I go with my husband to some parks and to the seashore, and I mix with foreign men. Is that permissible for me?
Answer:
It is not permissible to mix with foreign men in a way that causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), such as men looking at women and women looking at men. This is haram (forbidden) and munkar (what is wrong), whether it is on the beaches or elsewhere. It is obligatory for the Muslim woman to fear Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and to avoid these tempting places. It is even more obligatory for men to avoid these places where fitnah occurs and where mixing takes place. In fact, it is obligatory for everyone to declare this munkar wrong and to strive to remove it, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Muslim 49a Yes.

He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do it, then he should do it with his tongue, and if he has not strength enough to do it, (even) then he should (abhor it) from his heart, and that is the least of faith.
من رأى منكم منكرا فليغيره بيده، فإن لم يستطع فبلسانه، فإن لم يستطع فبقلبه، وذلك أضعف الإيمان.
