المستخلص: In spite of the commonly accepted idea among contemporary scholars of Islamic orthodoxy that gender segregation would be a policy of protection for individuals and society, my argument will be that male/ female segregation is an anti-Islamic attitude and practice as it artificially constructs gender inequality based on social practices that are legitimated by supposedly religious precepts. The term Islamic is understood here as referring to Islamic ethics respecting such values as justice, fairness, equality within mankind, honesty, moral righteousness, humility in front of God. My contention will be that instead of being a means of soul, family and community protection, gender segregation is dangerously destructive. It entails the destruction of souls, individuals, families and societies. So-called Islamic rules of segregation are supposed to preserve chastity in both men and women and therefore «protect» believers from temptation, evil and sin. Instead, it increases mutual ignorance about the other gender, maintains and promotes inequality and reinforces discrimination in societies that are already culturally patriarchal. In addition, it contributes to create a dividing atmosphere of suspicion and distrust between genders, and fosters gender disharmony and discord. Gender segregation policy does not prepare men and women to fair and successful marriage and often entails misunderstanding and conflict between marital partners, out of mutual ignorance and lack of deeper common ground. Lastly, on ethical grounds, I shall argue that gender segregation policy results in the negation of religious education and ethics, as it favours utopia over drama, does not grow moral conscience, produces moral disability and does not comply with God’s design for mankind.
