Gender Segregation and Islam (Paperback)


Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Islam discourages free mixing between men and women when they are alone but not all interaction between men and women. Interaction between men and women is prescribed to be maintained at a healthy and modest level, to the extent where they can socialize in order to know each other as ordained by God in the Quran (Surah al-Hujurat), as long as there is no obscenity, touching, secret meetings and any sexual contact, which violates the general rules of interaction between the genders.There is no evidence from the Quran or Hadith that enforces the segregation of sexes. In fact, there is actually evidence of the opposite. Notable Canadian scholar Sheikh Ahmad Kutty has said segregation of the sexes is not a requirement in Islam, as men and women used to interact during Muhammed's time without any partitions. The popular Islamic site Onislam.net, which has links to Al Azhar, says the early Islamic society was never segregated.
