· ‎{And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.}[Quran 24:31]

　　· The fourth regulation: Avoiding intermixing with men in order to avoid temptation and corruption.

　　This regulation is based upon a series of incidents and texts of Sharee‘ah. The Prophet, , used to separate men from women in prayer, which is the greatest act of worship during which people draw nearer to Allah The Almighty. Thus, men it is with good reason that men should be separated from women during other activities.

　　The Prophet, , specified a door for women and another door for men in the mosque and commanded men to stay in their places until the women leave. Likewise, the Prophet, , dedicated certain days to teach women and enlighten them about issues related to women that may be embarrassing to them if discussed in front of men.

　　In addition, Allah The Exalted drew our attention to the natural attraction between men and women by forbidding women from speaking softly with men lest those in whose hearts are disease should be emboldened to covet.

　　Hence, if softness in speech is forbidden, then intermixing must definitely be forbidden with greater reason. Elimination of means that lead to unfavorable results is an established Sharee‘ah ruling, thus, we should pay attention to this issue so as not to violate the commands of Islam.
