The Ruling on Mixed Prayer Between Men and Women in the Sacred Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: May Allah reward you. What is the ruling on the Muslim community praying in congregation in a mixed manner, with men and women mixed together, adjacent to one another in the rows, in the Sacred Mosque?
Answer:
This is for a dire necessity. The Sacred Mosque is not controlled, and they prevent the women and have made special places for them, but some of them may slip through, or they may be ignorant, or the dire necessity compels them to line up in this way. These are cases of dire necessity that are not used as a basis for analogy. Yes. Because it is not intentional mixing. This is not mixing, just as men and women also perform circumambulation, and it is not said that this is mixing. It is not intentional.
