Q
In the world we live in today, especially for those living in the West, opposite gender interactions take place on a daily basis. To what extent is opposite gender relations allowed?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
In this fatwa:
- Socializing with the opposite gender all depends on your character and the way you act, keeping in mind the characteristics of a good Muslim.
- It is permitted to be decent and dignified with the opposite gender. What is impermissible is to obviously go into vulgarities or to go into a situation or a scenario that will lead to a sin.
