Co-education system is 'unlawful' - says Fatwa

It seems Muslim Clerics in India are in a habit of issuing "Religious Decrees" / "Fatwas" every now & then which at time seems amazing & weird. Earlier once they said Mobile ringtones are un-islamic, read "Quran Verses As Ringtones, Not Allowed". Then recently they declared Suicide is 'Un-Islamic'. Now here comes another one which says that Co-education system is “unlawful” as such an arrangement in colleges and universities spawn a “number of evils”. As per this decree boys & girls cannot study in the same college / university.

Darul Uloom-Deoband, one of the oldest and prestigious Islamic seminaries in the world, has issued the fatwa (202/L) on July 1.

The latest fatwa answered a question which went: “Is it permitted for girls to go to co-educational schools after they reach puberty?”

The fatwa, to begin with, said “it was unlawful for women to meet mahram men without a hijab or mix with them”. Anyone (whom a Muslim is not allowed to get married to) from the opposite sex who has reached puberty is considered a mahram. The second part of the same fatwa went against the “deeni classes” where “grown-up” boys and girls attend the same madrasas. “Such deeni classes, where boys and girls are taught together, are un-Islamic and attending such classes is not allowed”. The second part of the fatwa answered the question: “Is it permitted to go to deeni classes if boys and girls are taught together?”

What's your opinion on Muslim Clerics issuing such decrees / fatwas? Readers comments are invited.
