The answer

We have previously clarified the regulations for a man teaching a woman in a private lesson. If these regulations are met and your brother is aware, then seclusion is negated by his presence. This is conditional upon the absence of temptation and suspicion; otherwise, it is not permissible. It is preferable that you seek a woman to teach you. If you are in dire need and can only find a man to teach you, and the teacher is unwilling to go to the mosque for prayer, and your brother fears for you, then let him pray at home with a congregation. He is excused then from abandoning the congregational prayer.
