What is the ruling on studying at our university in the UAE, given that they have brought in European non-Muslim teachers to teach the girls?

The questioner : ... the right or the left?

The Shaykh: I told you that this is the Sunnah. What do you mean by repeating the question?

The questioner : Okay, okay, Shaykh. We mean, at our university, the UAE University, they have introduced a new system for studying in the first year. They brought in teachers from European countries to teach us at our university. Of course, Shaykh, you know, they are men and women, whether in the boys' university or the girls' university. So these teachers are women and men. Here, they are bringing us the ideas and morals of the West, even in dress... So I wanted to know whether we should study or not?

The Shaykh: First, is the study mixed?

The questioner : Yes, no. The girls in our university are exclusively for girls, and the boys are exclusively for boys, but the teachers, recently, are women and men.

The Shaykh: So the teachers for the girls include both men and women.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh: The teachers.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh: They teach the girls.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh: But the girls are not mixed with the young men.

The questioner : No, no.

The Shaykh: Okay, you say these teachers came from the West. I don't understand, from the West, what? Which West is this?

The questioner : From Britain and the United States.

The Shaykh : Muslims.

The questioner : No.

The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar. What are these people teaching?

The questioner : They teach English, English, for example, computer, mathematics, all in English.

The Shaykh: Okay, and they see the girls and the girls see them.

The questioner : Yes, and some of the girls are displaying their adornment, even... Shaykh, in the schools...

The Shaykh: Okay, this is not permissible. The matter is clear.
