Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Ah, ah. The questioner says: My sister wants to study medicine, but he says that in our country, all the universities have free mixing of men and women. She wants to specialize in treating women in order to help her female counterparts. His question is: Is it permissible for my sister to study in a college that has free mixing?
Answer:
If the mixing is such that the male student is next to the female student and she sits with him, this is not permissible. However, if the female students have a separate place and the male students have a separate place and they do not mix, then there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
