Women site, - What Do Scholars Say about Intermixing? - I

• Imaam Ash-Shaafi'i, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said in his book
Al-Umm, "I do not like women to be buried with men in a single grave
as long as there is no necessity. However, if this is necessary, then
the man should be in front and the woman in the back along with a
separator of dust between them."
Imaam Ash-Shaafi'i, may Allaah have mercy upon him, hated mixing men
and women even if they were dead in the grave not feeling the presence
of one another, so, what should we say about college students who sit
with the boy's thigh stuck to his girlfriend's thigh while they are
alive, with desire running in their veins and each of them wants the
other?
• Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said in At-Turuq
Al-Hukmiyyah fi As-Syaasah Ash-Shar'iyyah:
Some Islamic jurists rightly stated that it is allowable for the ruler
)concerned authorities( to spoil the clothing of women who
impermissibly expose their adornment with ink or so if this is
suitable. This is considered the least financial punishment, as the
Commander of the Believers 'Umar ibn Al-Khattaab, may Allaah be
pleased with him, prevented women from walking with men or intermixing
with them in the roads.
Shaykh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said in
Al-Fataawa )15/297(,"Unlike the man, the woman should be protected and
preserved; hence, she was specified with the command to wear the
Hijaab )Islamic covering( and refrain from showing her adornment
before non-Mahram )marriageable( men. Therefore, she, unlike the man,
must abide in her house and must abide by Hijaab, because the
appearance of women without necessity causes temptation, and men are
in charge of them."
• Shaykh Ahmad Shaakir, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said,
Imaam Ahmad, may Allaah have mercy upon him, narrated on the authority
of Umm Salamah, may Allaah be pleased with her, that she said, "O
Messenger of Allaah, why are we not allowed to perform Jihaad )armed
struggle( like men? Why do we receive half the share of inheritance
available to males?" Thereupon, Allaah The Almighty revealed )what
means(:}And do not wish for that by which Allaah has made some of you
exceed others. For men is a share of what they have earned, and for
women is a share of what they have earned. And ask Allaah of his
bounty. Indeed Allaah is ever, of all things, knowing.{]Quran 4:32[
Shaykh Ahmad Shaakir, may Allaah have mercy upon him, commented on
this Hadeeth )narration( saying, "This Hadeeth refutes the allegations
made by the contemporary liars who are keen on spreading immorality
among the believers to be as immoral as the non-Muslims. They
encourage women to leave their houses to enlist in the army, where
their arms and thighs are exposed and their front and back are shown,
intending, in fact, to entertain the young soldiers who are deprived
of women in the army; in imitation of the dissolute Jews and
Westerners, may the successive curses of Allaah be upon them until the
Day of Judgment."
• Dr. Saalih ibn Fawzaan Al-Fawzaan said in his book Rulings
Pertaining to Muslim Women:
Today, the enemies of Islam - rather, the enemies of humanity,
including the disbelievers and hypocrites who have a disease in their
hearts -- are embittered by the chastity and honorable status of the
Muslim woman under Islam.
That is because the enemies of Islam want women to serve as a tool of
destruction and a trap by which they can seduce and prey on those who
have weak faith and those who have a perverted nature, after getting
her to fulfill their frenzied desires. Allaah The Almighty Says )what
means(:}Allaah wants to accept your repentance, but those who follow
]their[ passions want you to digress ]into[ a great deviation.{]Quran
4:28[
The Muslims who have a disease in their hearts want the woman to be a
cheap commodity displayed before lascivious people. They want her to
be an object, exposed before their eyes so they can enjoy her beauty
or reach of her what is uglier than that.
That is why they endeavor to get the woman out of her house to work
side by side with men, or to serve men as a nurse in hospitals, a
stewardess on board planes, a teacher or professor in mixed schools,
an actress or singer in theaters, or a broadcaster in the mass media
where she would seduce men by her voice and beauty.
Immoral magazines have taken seductive pictures of girls as a means
for promoting and marketing themselves. Similarly, some businessmen
and companies exploit such pictures to promote their products.
These conspiracies led women to abandon their natural and true duty
inside her house, which forced husbands to hire foreign female maids
to raise their children and take care of the affairs of their
households, and this has resulted in great evil and much temptation.
