The Prophet (SAWS) and his companions (RA) conducted intergender commercial, religious, and social transactions. They did business, worshipped, and visited with one another. I know what people today say what "Islam says", but it doesn't entirely jibe with what the early Madinan community's praxis. For those who wish to part from the Madinan paradigm, that's their choice, but they lack moral authority to force it on others- which is an authority that lies within the Divine Prerogative.
