Question

Actually I study in a cooeducational college.There are girls as well as boys in my class. Now what measures should i take to have the least possible encounter with girls?

Answer

In an instance where a person is encountered with females, he should ensure that no intermingling takes place. Care should be taken to lower one's gazes for Allah Ta'ala mentions in the noble Qur'aan, 'Say (O Muhammad) to the believing males that they should lower their gazes and protect their private parts.' (Surah Nur)

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
