Mixing [of genders] has different forms. If what is meant is the gathering of men and women while adhering to regulations, such as the legal , lowering the gaze, and not softening the voice, then there is no harm in it. However, if what is meant is the gathering of men and women with ostentatious display of adornment (tabarruj), unveiling (sufur), and not adhering to Islamic manners, then this is forbidden. Accordingly, earning money in this way is not blameworthy if Sharia regulations are observed.
