The ruling on a woman teaching in a co-educational school
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman to work as a teacher, teaching men and women, young men and young women, in a co-educational school for both male and female students?
Answer:
No, it causes fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). However, it is permissible for women to teach female students, and to teach children in the nursery from the age of seven; this is not a problem, or rather, not in the nursery. As for being a teacher for older students or in a co-educational setting alongside women, this is not permissible, and it contains fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and evil, and we ask Allah for safety.
