Unlawful mixing (Ikhtilat) refers to the gathering of men and women under one roof without adherence to regulations, such as physical contact, women not observing , or their speaking in a soft, alluring manner. However, merely gathering while adhering to Sharia regulations to discuss work matters and the like is permissible. Similarly, conducting interviews with families is permissible if it is controlled by Sharia regulations.
