Teaching, Learning and Their Proprieties: Ruling on Attending Mixed-Gender Universities Without Full Ḥijāb Observance
English:
Question #1319:
What is the ruling on enrolling in a university where men mix with women, especially when some of the women are not wearing ḥijāb?
Answer #1319:
There is no objection to going to educational institutes for acquiring knowledge and teaching. However, it is incumbent on women and girls to observe ḥijāb; it is equally incumbent on men to avoid looking in ḥarām way and keeping away from mixing with the opposite sex, which normally leads to temptation and corruption.
