Teaching a Non-Mahram Woman

Question:

If Zaid doesn’t get any evil thoughts when a non-mahram woman comes face to face with him, nor is there any fear of fitnah and fasad, can Zaid teach his non-mahram female relatives books like, ‘Taleemud Deen’, ‘Heavenly Ornaments’, and ‘Islahur Rusoom’?

Answer:

It is best that a woman teaches a non-mahram woman. A male should not teach. If there is a dire need, then never teach in seclusion. Rather, teach along with a group of women and maintain the laws of hijab (partition etc.).

And Allah knows best.
