What is the ruling of Islamic law on performing mixed gymnastics in the baccalaureate exam, and is it permissible to submit a medical certificate to be exempted from it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is impermissible for a woman to engage in sports in the presence of non- men due to the exposure or outlining of the body that may result. Therefore, there is no objection to submitting a medical certificate for exemption from this, even though the general rule is that lying and falsification are forbidden, bearing in mind that mixed-gender education is only permissible out of necessity and with specific regulations.
