Modern education comes with co-education which promotes the free mixing and interaction between male and female students. As muslims we usually become confused whether we should also try to integrate with the society or not.
This question was raised to Sheikh Saalih who responded that at certain age Islam restricts the interaction between male and females.
If we ponder over the issue then we will realize that it is to create a harmonies society which western world has failed to achieve. Different statistics shows how girls as young as 10 are tempted by senior male students in having immoral relations with them, and then they were blackmailed with the video.
The 2014 figures from USA reflected that 47% of students in High school had intercourse with their school mates, on many occasions it was seniors having relations with their juniors. This is what the free mixing and interaction between male & female students’ results.
