Mixing in universities is a reprehensible matter. If a young man is compelled to study in mixed universities, he must observe the rulings of Sharia, such as lowering the gaze and avoiding unlawful seclusion (khalwa). A young man secluding himself with girls to review lessons is impermissible. What this young man does, befriending girls and speaking with them, is reprehensible. However, his not informing his colleagues of what he does is not a lie; rather, he should conceal his own affairs. Likewise, his mixing with girls for the purpose of cooperating in sponsoring orphans is impermissible and is a deception from Satan. Uttering the phrase "Whoever adds me on Facebook will enter Paradise" is impermissible and involves presumptuousness regarding the unseen. A young man visiting the home of his female colleagues at the invitation of her father is permissible if it is for a permissible purpose and does not involve any Sharia transgression. His discussion with girls about matters of marital relations is a clear abomination. And a young man spending his money on that which has no benefit is contrary to Sharia.
