Question: Some schools in the West make it obligatory that their male and female students learn dancing. This dancing is neither accompanied by the common song, nor is it for entertainment; it is part of the educational curriculum. So, is it harãm for the parents to allow their sons and daughters to attend such classes?
Answer: It contravenes the religious upbringing, rather based on obligatory precaution, it is forbidden absolutely, if the student has reached the age of maturity. That is when it is not a mixed gathering. If one has to dance in a mixed gathering, it is not permissible.
