Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : His EminenceThe Shaykh : Is it permissible for male teachers to teach female students?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Is it permissible for male teachers to teach female students?
The Shaykh : Yes, there is nothing wrong with it, provided there is no harm.
The questioner : Face to face.
The Shaykh : Even face to face, as long as there is no harm. But you know that if it is face to face, there is bound to be some harm, because female students generally uncover their faces to look at their curriculum and the book in front of them. Also, the man might be a handsome young man who tempts the women. For this reason, we see that it is better for a man to teach women via the television network, and for him to place a piece of cardboard or something other than cardboard in front of him so that his face is not clearly visible to the women. This is the best option and the one that keeps them farthest from temptation.
