The Ruling on Women Walking with Men in Public Places
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We see many women walking with men in many of the places designated for walking, and this has been noticeable recently. So, Honorable Shaykh, is such a thing permissible? We hope for a ruling on such places, since the women crowd the men and walk with a speed that is not befitting them.
Answer:
Do not mix women with men, not in the road, not in the gatherings, and not in the mosques. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed the women behind the men in prayer and ordered the men who prayed with him to wait after the taslim until the women had left, so that there would be no mixing between men and women. Yes.
