Is free mixing between men and women permissible?

“No, it is absolutely not permissible for a girl to study in a mixed environment. She will be in perpetual sin because the Quraan explicitly commands a woman to remain within the confines of her home.”

“No. All mixed gatherings are impermissible. However, situations that are totally unavoidable where you have to go to fetch your necessities then you will go to these places and fetch your necessities though the gatherings may be mixed.”

“This is just a loophole for some scholars to legitimize lecturing at mixed gatherings. Many a times the function or programme is arranged by the very scholars yet they state that there exists the fear of a deviant sect taking the platform. This is merely their flimsy excuses which are used to pacify and appease the Nafs.”

“It is not permissible to go to any place (gym, boxing classes etc) where there is free intermingling of men and women.”
