Islamic scholars claim it is against Islamic rules to attend events where there is free mixing of men and women (such as concerts, proms and parties):
> There follows a list of haraam things which both men and women should
> avoid in the wedding party:
>
> **1- Mixing of men with women, and things that are involved in that, such as greeting and shaking hands with one another, and men and women
> dancing together, because all of that is haraam and is a very serious
> matter.**
>
> 2- Taking pictures, whether men do that amongst themselves or women do that amongst themselves.
>
> 3- Drinking alcohol or eating pork.
>
> **4- Letting the husband come in to where the women are in order to take his wife.**
Does the Bible preach similarly strict rules regarding the interaction of genders? Did early Christians also maintain strict division between men and women in public places to combat temptation and immorality?
