dear Ara

Aisha radiallahu anha used to teach from behind a curtain/screen. she conveyed the knowledge/hadith, she did not chat.

I am not sure exactly which article you are talking about, but I just wanted to clarify that point :wink:

Mariam

[khadi1]

a classic example that men and women DID NOT MIX after the verse of the hijab was revealed, is the aathar of Aisha's slander, Radiyallahu anha.
I am quoting from memory , Inshallah, some sisters will have time to get the all story for me :'' when Aisha got left behind because she was searching for something, and the army departed and the people who were carrying her thought she was in her ''Howdah'' (the carriage on top of the camel, all enclosed) because she was light in weight, a young man came after and he recognised her  from before the veiled was imposed on women  . He stopped his horse or camel , he did not look at her and walked in front of her the whole time.
Still, this did not prevent the hypocrites to slander the Mother of the Believers, Radiyallahu anha.

We should not take our own example or personnal circmustances to re-write/explain/understand or misunderstand  Islam. We should not do that. If Allah has decreed something,  then be it.  It is not because there is no misbehaving in your class that the prohibition between mixing men and women should be lifted.  :wink:  :wink:  :wink:
As a matter of fact, at the time of the Prophet, Sallalahu aleihi wa salam, women and men were praying in the same room, but men in front and women at the back, for obvious reasons.

Could not find the article you are refering either. Is it on the forum or one of the articles  on the homepage?

It is ok, you did not confuse us at all. We are all here to learn and benefit from each other...

You wanted to be illustrated, I think sisters answered you the best of their abilities.

The point is, as sister Mariam explained to you, Aisha, radiyallahu anha, used to speak to men to teach them from behind a curtain. I think that in itself does not need more explanation.
If she freely mixed with the other gender, then she would not have the need of a curtain.
In many mosques, men and women study together but not side by side. they may be in the same room but they do not mix.
As for the internet, it is obvious why men and women should not mix. YOu can be whoever you wanna be but it does not mean you are who you say you are.
it is why the Major Scholar recommend that people log in with  their names, as if they log in with their names, they'll be known and they will be more careful about how they act on the net.
But if you are anonymous, then , really... many people throw  their shame and principles through the window.

Inshallah, this has helped.
