The question

Is privacy with a girl negated by the presence of her mother or her six-year-old brother? And should one apologize for not helping others with their studies due to excessive burdens and the impact of that on Qur'an revision and one's state? And what is the minimum amount of Qur'an revision that ensures the retention of its memorization? And how does one feel the effect of the Qur'an within oneself, in terms of piety and fear of Allah?

The answer

One must praise Allah for His blessings and show gratitude by using them in ways that please Him. Helping colleagues with their studies aids in solidifying information and understanding it, just as Allah helps those who help others. As for helping a girl with her studies, the fundamental principle is to avoid mixing with women due to the danger of temptation, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I have not left behind me any temptation more harmful to men than women." Seclusion with women and anything that incites temptation is forbidden. It is permissible to teach a girl if temptation is avoided, and she adheres to the prescribed Islamic dress, provided there is no seclusion, the gaze is lowered, and speech containing jesting or softening of the voice is avoided. Seclusion is any gathering where suspicion is not averted. The presence of the girl's mother or a discerning child prevents seclusion. However, it is preferable to decline their request for fear of the young man falling into temptation.
