Is it permissible to teach a Christian girl in an open computer lab at the university, provided there is a commitment not to touch her and to restrict the interaction solely to teaching?
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, warned against the temptation of women. Therefore, a Muslim should not be overconfident and engage in conversations with women or sit beside them. Safety from temptation in such cases is rare, especially with an unveiled Christian woman. Haram (unlawful) is not limited to committing indecency; rather, it includes looking, touching, and enjoying listening, which is a form of Zina (fornication/adultery). Therefore, this relationship must be severed immediately.
