Muslim Gender Interaction in the West ~ Dr. Yasir Qadhi

- The relationship of Muslim men and women in Islam is one of mutual respect and honour.
Our Lord in His divine revelation mentions "The believing men and believing women are protectors of one another." ~ [Surat at-Tawbah, verse 71]
Though sometimes we are segregated so viciously in the west that its almost viewed taboo as to even smile and say 'Salam' to your brother or sister.
If you read the Seerah of the Prophet (saw) we don't find such ultra-conservative segregation between the Sahabah & Sahabiyat like we do in some of our circles and communities. As a consequence of this extremism our brothers don't know how to treat our sisters with respect and be there for her when she needs help, and vice versa.
Then there are those within Muslim communities that have completely abandoned any form of segregation and freely-mix with the opposite gender and even touch without any shame or consciousness of Allah.
How do we reach a healthy balance of lowering our gaze in front of the opposite gender, yet be protectors to one another without compromising the segregation of respect that our faith prescribes.
In this video clip Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi answers the controversial question of gender segregation in the west.

This is so profound. Many non-Muslims & some extreme liberal Muslims have a very negative understanding of segregation between genders in Islam because of our own extremism in this manner.
Only if we revived the Prophetic manners of the love, respect and honour that the Prophet (pbuh) had for women then we wouldn't need to defend the concept of 'respectful segregation' in Islam, rather our beautiful actions & speech towards our sisters in faith and non-Muslim sisters in humanity would show the perfection of our faith.
Shukran for this extremely insightful answer Shaykna.
Exactly.
Segregation has gone too far in some instances.
Women in black, men in white, speaking is flirting, etc, etc.
Beautifully given.
man.. wallah man.
May Allah Protect THIS MAN.
Walah that was the best speech. God bless you
subhanallah. JazakAllah Khayran Dr Yasir Qadhi, I cannot explain how much you are helping me learn and navigate through this world. Beautifully explained with great examples. I can't imagine that you would have many people who use the floodgate argument against you and for this reason I congratulate you on your courage. May we always try our best to understand the deen and implement it in a way that doesn't lead to any extreme, but is balanced so we can live halal social lives. I beg Allah's help in this avenue, may He guide us with His infinite love and wisdom.
Masha Allah.. Sh.Yasir Qadhi really hit the nail on the head again with this lecture.. Jazakum lahu khayran
May Allah SWT reward you. Amen
Tell someone to no think of a blue elephant and they will think about one. Telling people to not interact on anyway will lead to people looking at the opposite sex like a sexualised body. We should keep our intention on check that is the key factor.
This man is entirely too reasonable. Masha’Allah, tabarakAllah!
Jazakallahu khairan katheeran!
Yes what you're saying is true. I do act as if the opposite gender doesn't exist. Even though most of my study environment is filled with the opposite gender. I guess I'm just shy.
Could not agree more.. Jazakummulah shiekh
good and sense able
Would have liked Sh YQ to strongly encourage not shaking hands, but it came across as a little apologetic.
imagine if all 2 million muslims stopped shaking hands with opposite gender, before you know it, the awkwardness would be lost. It would be a societal norm.
Shaikh yasir qadi...as always giving very practical advice.
Assalamu alaykum, my concern is that the shiekh linked isoc segregation/"false bubble" to leading to an unawareness of how to respectfully communicate, but it was not clear what he wanted changed. He attacked the "vicious" segregation present in some gatherings and isoc events, which isn't completely fair. ISoc do make an effort to limit socialisation between the genders. The doors of necessary and respectful communication ARE however, present.
If the point that bros need to stop getting too excited with sisters/vice versa & they shouldn't completely ignore one another had to be made, it could have been done independent of isoc segregation.
the story at the end was very influential alhamdulilah
yasir right, forgot those saudis
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
maybe he referred to makrooh as in it is kiraaahah liltahreem I.e haraam because disliked are of two types in usool fiqh either disliked as in of itself not being haraam but rewrded if left or disliked as in haraam but clearly he said its not halaal so I take it he refers to the dislike of it being haraam
Maashallah sheikh. I ask Allah to continue to make your feet firm on that which leads to His pleasure. I am sorry, but I am of the opinion that you say the truth unapologetic-ally especially when you are among youths or people with little or no knowledge like myself. Your duty is to inform us of the truth unequivocally and the follow it up with the warning to fear Allah as much as we can. Is the ruling on the hand shaking of opposite sex makrooh or haram? Your,my honoured scholar, saying that the least that could said about it is "makrooh" leaves room for scholarly argument which a student of knowledge should not be bothered with. You are a revered scholar and Allah has made you one to guide us. Please feel free to tell us what Islam want says then enjoy us to fear Allah to the best of our ability. I am truely sorry if I have offended you by my comment. I have only done this as a reminder for it benefits none but the believers. Jazakallahu khayrah
When did shaking hands with non mahram become makrooh and discouraged? I thought people with knowledge of Islam should tell the truth? So people who doesnt know can ask those who know like him???
Assalamu Alaikum you did exactly what he told not to, that is misquoting him.
Were there sisters in audience?
Turn the camera
The first Hadith on the list of 40 by Imam Al Ninowy... Every act is judged by it's intention. So if your intention of touching a strange women's hand or speaking to her is not in least flirtatious or sexual is it Haraam? I feel if your intentions are noble Allah knows what is in your heart.
Assalmu Aliakum. I doesn’t have to be flirtatious for u shake the opposite gender. For example if staring at a half naked woman and I say my intentions are not sexual, that not right.
I have a question to you Sheikh Qadhi. Some parents push their kids to mingle with the opposite gender so they can choose their life partners. They’re trying to justify their actions by being Muslim that they invite families and let all children (boys and girls) mix, which according to them is not prohibited. Like the way you’re trying to say shaking hands with opposite gender can be forgiven by giving sadaqa. So are you suggesting parents to give sadaqa every time when there is a gathering and boys and girls mingle? Not a bad idea, at least there will be more sadaqa given to the people. Are you trying to teach Islam to balance between religion and your culture?
In this day and age we are talking about this ridiculous issue...
Allaahoe al-Moesta'aan! ***** has changed so much. It is unfortunate to see him like this. One advice: discipline your soul, because this is truly pathetic!
He changed for the better alhamdu lilah - away from extremism and strives to be balanced. This extreme salafi manhaj and traditionalists has poisoned this ummah ever since.
What is makrooh did he say??
Shaking the hands of the opposite gender
This man is scam!! How can shaking hands a makrroh !! Don't put loop holes in deen
From today i will unfollow you inshaaAllah, respect gone,you are promoting free mixing!! How hypocrite you are!! Shame on you the so called shaikh!!
Do women scare you?
You afraid you can't control your sexual lust?
You need some help my friend.
