Female student speaking with her male teacher in the university

Question: 47554

A young man teaches us in the university. Is it permissible for us to ask him questions and speak to him about the subjects we are studying?.

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

In question no 1200
we explained that free mixing between men and women is haraam, and we
explained that harm that this causes to people’s spiritual and worldly
interests.

 As this is the case, then what you must do is not to remain
in a place where there is free mixing between men and women, except in cases
of necessity. If the university is for girls and the teachers are men, then
there is less danger. But those who follow their whims and desires will keep
trying to remove every barrier between the sexes. So we advise you to fear
Allaah and to remember that He is watching you in private and in public.

With regard to a woman speaking to a man for some necessary
purpose, there is no sin in it, subject to the condition that they should
not be alone together (khulwah or seclusion), even if that is in an office
or classroom, with no one else present. They should also remain formal and
dignified, and observe proper hijab, and take care to speak only about what
is necessary without saying anything more, or softening the voice. There
should also be no danger of fitnah.  If the woman feels any kind of desire
or speaks to men simply for fun, or if that applies to the man, then it is
haraam for them to speak together, because of the fitnah and sin involved.
And Allaah knows best.
