Question
Please explain the mas'alah of intermingling of men and women. There seems to be much confusion among the Ulama on this issue. Is it permissible to go by cable car on top of Table Mountain? Someone said that it was not permissible because men and women go together in the cart. However, others say that women are everywhere and cannot be avoided. A mufti of the NNB Jamiat told me that it is not wrong for a Maulana to go to the stadium out of political necessity. He says that there are women even in malls and shops. Is this argument valid?
Answer
You don't need brains to understand that this stupid argument is pure rubbish. There is no principle in the Shariah stating that two haraam acts equate to a halaal, or a haraam committed at one place makes halaal the haraam at another place. The NNB Jamiat chap who disgorged the stupidity is not a mufti. A mufti does not speak such rubbish designed to mislead ignorant people. He disgorged his ghutha to justify his haraam presence in the haraam zina stadium where zina, fisq and fujoor are practised in a variety of forms.
Intermingling of the sexes is haraam. It will remain forever haraam, until Qiyaamah, regardless of the droves of naked women in the streets, malls, supermarkets, etc. The haram intermingling taking place in malls and shops does not make halaal the haram intermingling of the stadium of Iblees. If need constrains one to go to a shop/ supermarket to acquire one's needs. It will be permissible to the degree of need. But going to a stadium where fisq, fujoor and zina are the order of the day is never permissible in any circumstances. The stupidity of 'political necessity'
is a monstrous canard which Iblees has whispered to the moron 'mufti'. There is absolutely no such necessity. Necessity which temporarily relaxes the law of prohibition is a need which is valid in the Shariah. The government does not compel any Muslim to attend the stadium of Iblees. There is no law in this country to compel Muslims to attend a stadium. The moron simply vomited shaitaaniyat.
The analogy of the haraam cable car with malls and shops is ridiculously stupid. There is no need waste time and brains explaining this obvious prohibition. It is not permissible to go by cable car since men and women are cooped up together in a haraam manner for an objective which according to the Shariah is lahw-la'b (futility and play – haraam amusement) which is the antithesis of the objective of life on earth.
