Is it permissible for male and female students to perform ablution together in the same place at the university mosque, given the limited number of taps?
Mixing (between genders) in schools and universities is forbidden. Whoever is afflicted by it must avoid mixing with women and lower their gaze. It is not permissible for males and females to perform ablution in the same place, because ablution necessitates uncovering parts of the body that foreign men are not permitted to see. This gathering may be a cause of temptation (fitnah), and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, warned against the temptation of women. Therefore, a specific time should be allocated for girls' ablution, and men should be prevented from entering at that time, or the ablution area should be divided by a barrier that prevents visibility.
