Mixed gym classes
Question
Asalamu alaykum
I wanted to know is it permissable for a man to go to a gym or go to a boxing class where it is mixed.
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is not permissible to go to any place (gym, boxing classes etc) where there is free intermingling of men and women. [1]
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
