What Does “Don’T Go Near Adultery” Mean?
,Quran Verse 17:32 says: Do not go near adultery. It is truly a shameful deed and an evil way. Does this mean any interaction with opposite gender is not allowed unless it is absolutely necessary like life or death situation?
Some very conservative ulema forbid coeducation, mixed gender gatherings, women working outside in the office etc and they quote this verse in their defence. Sometimes they quote this hadith too
Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying. Allah fixed the very portion of adultery which a man will indulge in. There would be no escape from it. The adultery of the eye is the lustful look and the adultery of the ears is listening to voluptuous (song or talk) and the adultery of the tongue is licentious speech and the adultery of the hand is the lustful grip (embrace) and the adultery of the feet is to walk (to the place) where he intends to commit adultery and the heart yearns and desires which he may or may not put into effect.
I have watched some of Javed Ahmed Ghamidi sahab’s videos on gender interactions. He believes Co-education & mixed gender gatherings are allowed, Friendship between opposite gender is allowed, Falling in love, meeting each other, exchanging letters are allowed before marriage. So according to his understanding these actions do not bring a person near adultery. So how should this verse and hadith be understood?
