I mean is it against Islam for male teachers to teach female students. Obviously the male teacher won't be teaching only one student but a whole class of them. The girls would be wearing hijabs. Is there anything from the Qur'an or Hadith which can shed some light on this matter. Pls. I need to know more.

I think the same way but some say that only female teachers should teach female students and vice versa. Can someone proof that this is a wrong statement.

For God sake, Islam is so easy & practical religion, don't make it impracticle one.:-
Fiqh-us-Sunnah: Supererogatory Prayer. Fiqh 2.153.
Ibn Hajar writes in Fath al-Bari, "Ibn as-Siraj related from Abu az-Zinad on the authority of 'Urwah from 'Aishah that the Prophet said that day: 'Let the Jews of Medinah know that our religion is spacious [and has room for relaxation] and I have been sent with an easy and straight forward religion. "'
Islam of Prophet Muhammad(saw) is EASY religion while “talibanised” ppl r making it impossible-to-follow religion.
Lot of women used to come to Prophet to ask Qs. They were like female students.
Prophet used to answer them(teach them) like a male teacher.
So do we still need a fatwa on this issue???!!!

Only boys do that..
You'd be surprised.
I don't know of the Qurans stance on it, but If you're teaching, I think the last thing on the teachers mind would to be oogling the students. (One would presume )

Oh really?

edit- i just reread the first couple posts and realized i said the exact same thing AvarAllahNoor said. some kind of mind trick must be going on. oh the drama!
There is no need for mixing. Studying in this school is not essential; so long as a woman can read and write and knows the teachings of her religion, that is sufficient, because she was created for that, i.e., to worship Allaah. Anything beyond that is not essential.
I find this statement to almost force a woman to think 'further education' is not necessary, 'cause it's totally haram if there's any male there. Some people don't have a choice, there are no just female schools, for example here where I live. Of course if there is, one should consider why you don't attend it, as it's way better to go there Islamically thinking.. Is it money that stops you? Or simply don't wanting to go? The intention plays a big role here.
In this time of life, people cannot go uneducated or their lives will be very hard, uneccessary hard, especially for a woman who is not really suited to do physically demanding jobs like males can do, and I'm thinking
And then in the second link it said the following:
When a woman is with a man who is a non-mahram her entire being is ‘awrah. As for covering the head and showing the face, this is not full hijab.
I beg you pardon, but the majority of scholars do not say niqaab, or covering the whole face + eyes, as obligatory, and that covering the hair and body with loose clothing which does not sexually attract, is the full hijab. Face and hands can be visible.

I'd like to add that Aisha(ra) was like a female teacher, who taught a LOT of Ahadeed to Male students. & Many of those Ahadees r on issues related to marrital life & menstruation etc. & some of them r quite openly talking on these issues.
That speaks for itself that islam has no problem with teacher of opposite gender.
Re: Is it haram for male teachers to teach female students?
I think there is no problem in that because from what I know that Mohammed (PBUH) was teaching the women that time about the instructions of Islam.
so the same thing happen her in schools or universities

it always amazes me how some delight in making the simple complicated.
btw, this is a good illustration of why i don't like islamqa - it seems they invariably take the harshest position possible on everything.

Ya, you are right. Islam q&a is off my list from now on.

Pls, I'm not a Taliban nor "talibanized". I was asking this question after reading an article in TIME Magazine about female education in Afghanistan. What caught my attention is that some parents won't allow their female children to go to school because the teachers or male. BUT the teachers are male ONLY because there is shortage of female teachers. I think these parents need to be thought Islam first before they ruin their children's life.

Al-Zaara, thank you very much for your links and explanation. Islam q&a takes the harshest and the most extreme position on everything.
Re: Is it haram for male teachers to teach female students?
Islamqa is run by shaykhs who are qualified to come to the conclusion that they reach. They don't choose and opinion because they like to be harsh but because they think it is correct.
And you would be surprised, many times they state very lenient opinion.
If you think the opinion is harsh, maybe you should realise that many of the fatwas are based on people living in Islamic countries and so obviously their situation is different to ours (living in non-Muslim countries), and that specific fatwas are not meant to be generalised either.

There is no need to be so defensive. The shaykh was asked his opinion and he gave it. He has every right to follow the opinion that niqaab is compulsory.
