I teach in a Maktab/ Madrassah.

Question

I teach in a Maktab/ Madrassah. Alhamdulillah from the beginning of Madrassah there has been strict Purdah between the Moulana (principal of Madrassah) and the Aapas. However recently the Moulana has decided that in order for the Madrassah to run smoothly, two Moulanas will sit in the class and supervise the teaching of the Aapa. There will be no curtain or barrier between them but the Aapa will wear her purdah. Is this permissible?

Answer

How can it ever be permissible when Allah Ta'ala has commanded a separating screen between the Holy Wives o f R a s u l u l l a h (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Sahaabah should the latter at any time have a need to speak to them. The Qur'aan Majeed mentioning the reason for the Purdah/Screen says that it is purer for the hearts of both the Holy Wives and the Sahaabah.

Are these molvis and the aapas better and spiritually more fortified against the predations of their lustful nafs than the Holy Wives of Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Sahaabah? These molvis have fallen into the snare of Iblees. They have opened the avenue of zina for themselves. But the Qur'aan Majeed orders: "Do not come near to zina."

Their actions and their arguments are absolutely disgusting. Their conduct is disgraceful and lewd. Zina between molvis and apas with whom they intermingle is not an isolated occurrence. Too much immorality exists between these molvis and apas, and even between so-called sheikhs and their female mureeds. They flagrantly ignore the prescriptions of Hijaab commanded by the Qur'aan and Sunnah. Thus, very quickly shaitaan and the nafs overwhelm them with lust which deposits them into the cauldron of zina. These molvis at this maktab as well as at other maktabs where mingling with apas has become a norm are among the shayaateenul ins (human devils). They destroy themselves, the apas and the pupils with their haraam shenanigans.

It is haraam for the apas to submit to the haraam, immoral dictates of these slaves of lust.
