Interaction between unrelated members of the opposite sex is inevitable at times, yet we need to know when it is permissible, to what extent, and what ethical guidelines should be observed.

Are men allowed to interact with female students, and vice versa, in a virtual classroom? Can a woman pursue a professional career that necessitates her interaction with men? Is it appropriate for a woman to serve her husband’s guests? Do mixed wedding ceremonies comply with the Sharia? 

In A Guide to Male-Female Interaction in Islam, Dr. Hatem al-Haj has taken a broad view of the subject, keeping in mind the opinions of scholars who have taken a stricter stance as well as those who are more flexible in their interpretation.
