I'm an expatriate in Kuwait and I study in a co-ed school where are students from different nationalities as well as different religions. So we get together often. But my doubt is that are we permitted per Islamic law to perform in certain functions like Christmas carol or so like in coir. I was last year in coir. But since I had the doubt that it might be like encouraging the non-Muslims to a sin I had stopped joining further. Please let me know about it vividly. It'll be of great gratitude.

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

Dear sister, you should always be proud of your religion and your love of Allaah and His Prophet . Pleasing Allaah is better than pleasing His creatures.

Basically, a woman is not allowed to mix with marriageable men or to study in co-ed classes as we mentioned in our Fataawa: 82730, 82041 and 83135.

It is not allowed for her to sing in the presence of marriageable men, and it becomes strongly forbidden if it is on the festive occasions of non-Muslims. For more details please read our Fataawa: 85410, 85406 and 83628.

Allaah knows best.
