Working in a co-educational school in obedience to the father

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I am a teacher from outside this country, teaching in a school with free mixing of men and women, and my father prevents me from leaving the teaching job. Is it permissible for me to work in such a school in obedience to my father?

Answer:
No, do not obey him in disobedience to Allah. This is disobedience. Co-educational study is disobedience. Yes.
