Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is not hidden from your honor, as you are among those who follow the events of the Muslim community and confront the advocates of Westernization, striving against them with their tongues, and confronting the advocates of Westernization, striving against them with their pens and tongues, so may Allah reward you with good. What is the role that we must perform, and that scholars must perform, toward the calls for free mixing in education?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. The Muslims disapprove of this and disapprove of free mixing in education, in gatherings, and in parties; they do not leave this alone and remain silent, and praise be to Allah. However, their evil desire is the opposite: they monitor free mixing and desire the uncovering of women and the abandonment of the hijab. They monitor the woman’s going out and her departure from the manners of the Shari'ah. But, by the permission of Allah, they will suffer regret, as long as there remains among the Muslims anyone who disapproves of that and clarifies it to the people, and this is a reality, praise be to Allah.
Disapproval and clarification that free mixing is forbidden, whether in education, in jobs, in buying and selling, or in any field where free mixing causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation); this is forbidden. Yes.
