Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Most entertainment venues involve free mixing of men and women, such as amusement parks and public parks. The children and the wife want to go out and enjoy themselves. Is it permissible for him to take them to such mixed places, or should he refrain?
Answer:
If there is free mixing of men and women, and if there is a lack of hijab, and if there is fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), then it is prohibited. But if it is a respectable place, and everyone is separate, and the women are wearing hijab, then there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
