May woman attend a talk by an Aalim in a hall if separate seating arrangements are made for them?

Question

May woman attend a talk by an Aalim in a hall if separate seating arrangements are made for them? Men will be seated in front and the women at the back. There will be no intermingling.

Answer

Regardless of the separation scenario explained by you, it remains haraam for women to leave home to attend the talk. In fact, the scenario depicted by you is no separation at all in terms of the Shariah. When they may not go to even the Musjid for Salaat, how can it be permissible to go for a talk?
