Allah has commanded believing men and believing women to lower their gaze and guard their chastity. He has also commanded women not to address men except from behind a screen. Therefore, a Muslim should avoid teaching girls. If he is compelled to do so, and the girls cannot find a female teacher, then the teaching should be from behind a screen if possible. Otherwise, she must adhere to the legal and niqab, and avoid perfume and softening her speech.
