When jamaat brothers perform gush, why do they request to speak to the men folk only, even though a male mahram is around? The females may also obtain some enlightment.

Answer

The advice given by the Jamaah to the menfold may be heard behind a curtain, or alternatively, the menfolk may convey the message to their womenfolk directly.

Who are a woman's mahrams?

“This is not permissible. If the woman is not your mahram, then this is obviously haraam and if the woman is your mahram e.g. your mother or sister then too this is not permissible and is against the Islamic teachings.”
