The ruling on a man teaching girls under the age of seven

Question:
Is it permissible for a man to teach young girls who are under the age of seven?

Answer:
There is no blame in that; because they are not of those who have an 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered). However, placing them with women is more preferable and better; because it may lead to laxity. There may be among them someone who has passed the age of seven, or reached the age of nine. So what should be done is to block this door, and that only women should undertake the teaching of girls, even if they are young, so that this does not lead to the teaching of older girls, and to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Likewise, young boys are taught by men, and there should be no laxity in this matter with women; because if the door is opened, people will be lax in this affair. So young boys are taught by men like the older ones, and young girls are taught by women like the older ones; to block the door, and to cut off the causes of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Yes.
