Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is there any permissible mixing between men and non-mahram women?
Answer:
Mixing where their sides touch, or sitting side by side in chairs at gatherings, is not permissible. However, if the women are separate and the men are separate, there is nothing wrong with that, provided the women are covered, or there is a barrier between them, meaning a screen separating them. Yes.
