Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it correct to say that one should commit the lesser of two harms, which here is mixed-gender education in medical colleges, to prevent the concentration of its teaching in the hands of disbelievers and open sinners? Is this statement correct, especially regarding women? Is it correct to say that one should commit the lesser of two harms, which is mixed-gender education in medical colleges, to prevent the concentration of its teaching in the hands of disbelievers and open sinners? Is this statement correct, especially regarding women?

Answer:
May Allah not force us to this. We should make the teaching of medicine for women separate, with female doctors teaching women, and make the teaching of medicine for men separate, with male doctors teaching men. If the Islamic world wanted this, it would be easily available to them. So, for the one who seeks the truth, it is not difficult at all to separate the education of men and women in medicine and in other fields. Female doctors would take charge of teaching women, and male doctors would take charge of teaching men. Yes.
