Mixed-gender study and mixed-gender work between men and women are impermissible.
It is not permissible for a woman to uncover her face or her hands in front of students, teachers, or colleagues. A free woman is awrah (private parts that must be covered), and it is forbidden for her to uncover her face and her palms in the presence of non- men. Whoever is afflicted with mixed-gender environments should seek out medical gloves that do not reveal the hands.
