The question

What is the ruling on giving mixed private lessons where the seating areas for male and female students are separated, while some female students wear trousers and one is unveiled, and is the teacher's explanation to the female students considered a seclusion (khalwa), and what is the ruling on working there if it is suspected that it is prohibited by the state?

The answer

The doubt about the prohibition of lessons is removed by asking the competent authorities. Seclusion () is not realized when there are a number of students. The separate seating for each gender reduces the harm of mixing and prevents a definitive ruling of prohibition, though it is better to separate the two genders entirely. The presence of a student who is immodestly dressed necessitates advising and admonishing her. The teacher's work or the students' attendance is not prohibited except for those who fear temptation (fitna) or falling into unlawful looking.
