Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: What is the ruling on a Muslim woman working in a place where there is free mixing of men and women?
Answer:
Free mixing involving physical contact is forbidden and not permissible. As for mixing in a place where the women work in one section and the men in another, this is what the Muslims have been doing, with women working alongside men in the farms, and there is nothing wrong with it as long as there is no free mixing, with each group on their own side and the women being covered. Yes.
