Question
We intend opening a Maktab for girls under 9 years. The Maktab will be in a back room of a Musjid completely separated from the boys Maktab. What advice do you have?
Answer
Our advice is that girls even under 9 years, should not be taught at the Madrasah/Musjid building. They should be taught in a home environment. There should be absolutely no female classes at the Madrasah. Girls congregating at a public venue is fraught with fitnah. Girls of 6 and 7 should be observing strict Purdah/ Hijaab.
