Is it jaiz for a male to teach a ghair mahram how to properly read Qur'an (not recite melodiously) from behind a pardah?
Question
Assalamu 'Alaikum Mufti Sahib, also is it compulsory to have a partition (pardah) separating males and females at a gathering where both Muslims and non-Muslims are present? We want to hold an event for da'wah on a university campus. Jazakallah khair. Sorry for asking 2 questions.
Answer
1. Even though a male may teach females from behind a purdah, they are not totally free from being ensnared by any fitnah. (Fataawa Mahmoodiyyah vol,14, p.g396). It will hence be advisable that a female teaches females. 2. Yes, it is necessary to have a partition separating the males and females for any event.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
