The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this is a girl from one of the Arab countries who says: We are studying in the Department of Sharia, and the ones teaching us are men,
The Shaykh:
This girl, what is she?
The questioner:
From one of the Arab countries, she says: We are studying in the Department of Sharia, and the ones teaching us are men, knowing that everyone in the hall is women, and they are modest, nothing of them is exposed, and they do not speak with the lecturer; rather, the questions are written on paper. Is it permissible for her to study in this department?
The Shaykh:
First, it is necessary that those who teach women and treat women be women, a female teacher, as we have in the Kingdom now, and praise be to Allah, that women learn from women. There is no objection to a man teaching them from behind a closed screen, from behind a closed screen. The third situation is what the questioner mentioned: if there is no closed screen, and there are no women studying or seeking knowledge from a man, there is no objection if we are veiled and modest, and none of the prohibitions or seclusion or anything else occurs. This is the third stage, but before that, women should be with women and men with men, or from behind a screen so they benefit from the men. Or the third situation is, at the very least, what the questioner mentioned.
So if she does not find women, and does not find a closed screen, and there is only this department, there is no objection, given what she mentioned about modesty and adhering to the etiquettes of the Shari'ah, and staying away from suspicion, from seclusion, from submission in speech. Yes.
