I feared that he might cast something into your hearts."

Some forms of freemixing are even more clearly forbidden, such as when it involves: · Seclusion with a non-mahram woman, or looking at her with desire. · A woman being immodest or displaying her adornment (Tabarruj). · Frivolity, play, and bodily touching, like freemixing at celebrations, religious festivals, or holidays. · Mixing that involves such matters is clearly forbidden because it violates the principles of Shariah. 2⃣. Permissible Mixing: This is mixing in public places that people need, which is difficult to avoid completely, and which involves no prohibited elements. Examples include women mixing with men in markets and streets to quickly fulfill a need, such as asking about goods, seeking a religious verdict, asking for help, buying, selling, and similar activities. People go back and forth for their needs, buying and selling. There is no problem with this as long as one does not engage in any forbidden act beyond that; it is merely a passing encounter. A passing encounter is a limited interaction that does not remove natural shyness, and the woman adheres to the Islamic regulations regarding interaction with non-mahram men. Incidental mixing, in a place where temptation is generally not feared, is not among the forbidden forms. Rather, it is a widespread necessity that people require for their livelihood in every time and place. Examples where there is no blame: 1. It is permissible for women to mix with their maharim (close male relatives), as well as with young children who have not yet become aware of women's 'Awrah, as long as the risk of temptation is safe. 2. Men and women gathering in a masjid to perform an obligatory act or worship, as has been the case since the dawn of Islam until today, including the three great masjids. Women used to pray with the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the masjid, and he did not forbid it, nor did he order a barrier between the men's and women's rows. 3. A man visiting his fiancée and seeing her in the presence of her mahram. Islam has permitted this. 4. Interaction that takes place behind a screen. 5. When men's and women's eyes are averted from each other, and it is difficult to avoid more than that. 6. Mixing with a significant barrier present, even if it is open space. 7. It is permissible for women to mix with non-mahram men out of necessity in the presence of a mahram, according to regulations that ensure safety from temptation, which may vary depending on the situation and context. Conditions for Permissible Mixing of this type: · There must be no Khalwah between the man and the woman. · Exerting maximum effort to keep distance between men and women as much as possible, unless need requires otherwise. · The woman's presence must be for a need that is difficult to abandon, and the need should be temporary, ending once it is fulfilled. · The woman must be covered with the Islamic Hijab that conceals her entire body, including the face and hands. One of the clearest evidences for the obligation of a Muslim woman covering her face and hands in front of non-mahram men is the concession granted to elderly women (Al-Qawa'id) regarding removing their outer garments, while stating that modesty is better for them. Allah says: "And women of post-menstrual age who have no desire for marriage – there is no blame upon them for putting aside their outer garments but not displaying adornment. But to moderate modestly is better for them. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing." (An-Nur: 60) Allah granted a concession to Al-Qawa'id (i.e., elderly women who have advanced in age, ceased menstruation and childbirth, and have no hope of marriage) to put aside their outer garments (Jilbab and Khimar) which Allah mentioned in the verses on Hijab, thus uncovering their faces and hands. He lifted sin and blame from them for this, under two conditions:
