Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. What is the ruling on teaching non-mahram women the Qur'an or hadith? Given that they do not veil themselves from the teacher, but rather he looks at them and they look at him. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is obligatory that women be taught by women of their own kind. If the matter requires a man to teach women due to the absence of female teachers, then let that be done behind a hijab, for the sake of safety from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) for him and for them. As long as they have a desire for Islam and to learn the Noble Qur'an, they will accept guidance and direction, and it should be made clear to them that the hijab is obligatory upon Muslim women.
