I will enter university next year, Inshallah. But, the problem in my country is that there are no separate gender universities and I don't want to go to any other country. What should I do? Also, I am currently in a mixed gender school. What should I do?

    Avoid talking to guys unless necessary. Just limit the interaction. There will be many girls that you can stay with. – Zohal Sep 10 '15 at 11:36

  • @zohal Is talking with them outside of school make my diploma Haram? –  Sep 12 '15 at 10:37

    It does not make your diploma haram but it is haram for male to talk to a female or for a female to talk to a male if they are not their mahram (unless it is necessary). I would say avoid unnecessary interactions as much s possible. You can't help what is not your fault and Allah is most Merciful. I don't really see why you would need to interact outside of school. Also if you explain to your tutor they can help make sure you are partnered with males during group work. :) – Zohal Sep 14 '15 at 17:16
  • @Zohal I befriended them, that's why. –  Sep 14 '15 at 17:24
  • Speaking with a woman to whom one is not related (i.e., not mahram) should only be for a specific need, such as asking a question, buying or selling, asking about the head of the household, and so on. Such conversations should be brief, with nothing doubtful in either what is said or how it is said. – Zohal Sep 14 '15 at 17:35
  • befriending a non mahram can be dangerous because of the fitna which can lead to more and more sins. – Zohal Sep 14 '15 at 17:36
  • @Zohal What I am asking is that making them my friends and/or not lowering my gaze in or out of school make my education haram? –  Sep 15 '15 at 18:49
  • As I said before it does not affect your education however it is a sin as we are always told to lower our gaze. – Zohal Sep 16 '15 at 13:16
  • @Zohal This is my last question, but what about befriending, does it affect it? –  Sep 17 '15 at 13:38
  • Islamically girls and guys should not mix so befriend is not ideal. If contact is made it should on be on a professional level and not for social purposes. – Zohal Oct 12 '15 at 09:55
  • @Zohal Does befriending them at school in a social level make my Diploma Haram though? That's what I want to know. –  Oct 13 '15 at 10:56
  • @HüdaverdiAlperenDemirok, regarding it doesn't seem that befriending them at school in a social level make your diploma haram/ Meanwhile, if there can be some minor sins in your being friend... = has its negative effect in the DoomsDays, not to make your diploma haram... / Well done mate, it indicates how much it is significant for you... – اللهم صل علی محمد و آل محمد Dec 14 '15 at 12:14

Mixed gender education is haram, what should I do?

First of all I appreciate your paying attention to this matter which made you making research concerning what you should do. Since it is seen that there could be diverse fields of sin in such positions.

Secondly, it doesn’t seem to be haram directly for students to educate in mixed gender location, I think; But as much as I know, according to the viewpoint of Shia-Islam (and probably Sunni view, although I am not exactly aware about Sunni view):

It would be haram if your attendance in those classes leads to sin or perhaps at least the introduction or the start the fields of commiting sin(s).

Thirdly as the final issue, you ought to leave it if you assume it would take you in sin position, otherwise it will be OK it if there is not introduction of sin(s). Besides, don’t forget that education (at least in high degree) is not wajib that … Then the consent of Allah would be better than obtaining higher degree. Meanwhile Allah will give you more success in your life if you ignore it due to Him.

و من الله توفیق / God Bless You
