本来男女是分开的，除非有某种需要，并且是沙里尔（Shar'）所认可的，才会聚在一起，例如贸易和朝觐。

In origin men and women are segregated, and do not come together except for a need by Shar’ agrees to it and agrees to their assembly for it , such as trade and the pilgrimage.

本文依据众多证据。第一，伊斯兰教法将穆斯林的生活划分为公共领域与私人领域。在妇女的私人生活中，她可以在她的 Mahārim（至亲近亲属）面前展示超出其 ʿAwrah（私处）范围的部位；而在公共领域中，除脸和手之外，她的身体任何部分都不得示人。第二，教法规定礼拜时女性的行列应在男性之后。第三，教法命令男子避免直视女子，女子也应如此避免直视男子。第四，教法命令女子穿着端庄的服装遮盖自身，遮盖所有装饰之处，唯独显露于外的部分除外（换言之，即她的双手和面部）。第五，在私人生活中，妇女在其 Mahārim 之间可以展示超出 ʿAwrah 的部位，这是被允许的。

This article is derived from numerous evidences. Firstly: the Shari’ah divided the Muslim’s life between the general and private spheres, and in the woman’s private life she can display what is above her Awrah to her Maharim (close family relatives), whereas in her public sphere she cannot display anything from her body except her face and hands. Secondly, the Shari’ah made the rows of the woman in prayer behind that of the men. Thirdly, the Shari’ah ordered men to lower their gaze from the women, and vice versa. Fourthly, the woman has been ordered to cover herself in modest clothing which covers every part of the places of adornment, except for that which is apparent from her (in other words, her hands and face). Fifthly, it is permitted for her to display what is above her Awrah in her private life between her Maharim.
