Going for swimming lessons to pools with no segregation between men and ladies

Question

What do our Ulama say about sending kids or youth or adults to swimming pools or gyms where there are mixed ladies and men with no segregation and improper attire? Is a boy or girl, who are not baligh, allowed to learn swimming lessons in this environment? Please kindly advise?

Answer

How can a Muslim ever think of such things? It is extremely deplorable and kuffaar culture. It has nothing to do with Muslims. Abstain from this totally.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
