Making website for association that mixes between boys and girls

22 Feb 2023 Ref-No#: 4629

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

I am in need of advice. I did something bad to my friend and am trying to make it up to him. He is part of a youth association and he asked me to make a website for that association and i agreed.

The association is run by muslims, but they organize events mixed between boys and girls. I am not 100% certain that mixing between boys and girls is haram, but I heard that it might be. They also do a lot of charity so I am really not sure what the right path is.

I am scared it would cause me to generate haram for each person that joins through the website. Even though i am not participating in it, i am facilitating it.

Would it be haram for me to make a website for that association?

Thank you for reading. May Allah SWT bless you.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

 

Wa ‘alaykum us-salāmu wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

 

 

Respected brother in Islam,

 

Aameen, fajaza kumullahu khaira.

 

Mixed gatherings are not permitted in Islam. This is a source of fitna especially among the youth.

 

Haram can never have any good outcome. Even if it apparently seems like there is charity, then too, the harms will be more than the benefit.

 

 

We would advise you to make it up to your friend in some other way.

 

Convince him to make the events segregated by adding a screen in between.

 

Even the prophet Joseph alaiyhis salam says in the noble Quran,

 

” وَ مَاۤ اُبَرِّئُ نَفْسِیْۚ-اِنَّ النَّفْسَ لَاَمَّارَةٌۢ بِالسُّوْٓءِ اِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّیْؕ-اِنَّ رَبِّیْ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(۵۳)”

 

`Yet I do not hold myself to be free from weakness, for human nature is surely prone to enjoin evil, except on whom my Lord has mercy. My Lord is of course Protector (against sins), Ever Merciful.’

 

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
