A Statement on Women Entering the Neighborhood of Bachelors in Jeddah

The questioner:
One of the brothers says: I am a resident of Jeddah, and I am mentioning this for his sake. I used to live in Jeddah in a neighborhood called al-Sahibah. This neighborhood has many bachelors, and I have noticed many women coming to this neighborhood and entering the homes of these bachelors, and so on. He is asking permission to alert the authorities to this matter.

The Shaykh:
May Allah reward you.

Another questioner:
May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. On the occasion of this question, I am a resident of Jeddah on the Corniche. Many of the expatriates, and even many of the young Muslim men, go there to swim, and they wear only what covers the front and the back. Many people go there with their families, and there is free mixing, and many of the women are those who display their adornment.

The Shaykh:
Some of it has been addressed, and the matter will be revisited, if Allah wills. Some correspondence has taken place regarding it, and the matter will be revisited, if Allah wills.
