| Answer:
Co-education seems to be in direct contradiction with the social values and
the social set-up Islam intends to establish in a community. All Islamic
countries should make efforts to set up schools, colleges and universities for
both genders, or make proper arrangements, if this is not possible, to
accommodate female students for this purpose. However, the way things stand at
the moment, it becomes very difficult for a lady to choose an educational
institution particularly at the undergraduate level which is free from this
problem. If studying in co-education systems becomes unavoidable, then a lady
should try to form a group with other fellow girls and remain in their company
as far as possible. |
