Is a male student who studies at a mixed-gender university sinful if he answers academic questions posed by female students in social media groups dedicated to their major, or if he offers them advice regarding the best university specializations, doing so out of a desire to cooperate in studying within a mixed-gender environment which some scholars consider forbidden?
It is permissible to communicate with women in study groups to the extent of need, and there is no sin in that. It is also permissible to guide them regarding academic specializations, as studying in mixed universities is permissible when there is a need, provided the limits of Islamic law are observed.
