The ruling on eating food containing camphor and separating male students from female students

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We have a restaurant in one of the universities where camphor is added to the food to reduce the young men’s desire. What is the ruling on eating this food?

The Shaykh:
This is not permissible. This is perhaps a plot by the enemies who want to cut off the lineage of the Muslims, so do not eat from this food in which this substance has been mixed.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

The questioner:
The questioner says:

The Shaykh:
And those who are serious about the benefit of the youth separate women from men; they do not make the study mixed, and they give the youth camphor. These are two crimes: the crime of mixing and the crime of cutting off the lineage. This is not permissible for them. If they are serious, they should keep the women separate in a school, with women teaching them, and keep the youth separate, with men teaching them. This is the Shari'ah solution.
