The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, I work as a teacher in an elementary school, and there is no school here that is free from the mixing of men and women, so what is the hope?
The Shaykh:
The conditions.
The questioner:
That a teacher in an elementary school, and there is no school here that is free from the mixing of men and women, so what is the course of action? Knowing that this is his only job.
The Shaykh:
The work is to seek your livelihood by other means, and livelihoods are abundant, praise be to Allah. You move to another job.[At-Talaq 65:2-3] There is evil and fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) in the mixing. Yes.

And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect.
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُAnd whoever leaves something for the sake of Allah, Allah will replace it with something better.
ومن ترك شيئا لله عوضه الله خيرا
