Abstract

The expansion of social relations and the requirements of modern human life have led to an increase in the presence of women in society and resultantly an increase in the social relations between men and women. One of the most important social issues, the relation between men and women, is knowing the basics and principles of this relation. The present research conducted through analytical-descriptive method aims at examining the principles of social relations between men and women from Islamic standpoint and employing the practical behaviours of the prophets and saints(AS). Findings showed that Islam has already recommended some moral dos and don'ts for any kind of social presence of men and women and their relations, and emphasizes that anything that leads to corruption and sedition should be avoided. Additionally, keeping respect for women’s personalities; protecting their privacy; recommending them to avoid mixing, observe the principles of modesty, chastity, and hijab, and leave unnecessary mixed-gender meetings in social environments are all among the principles of male-female social relations that are the spirit of Islamic teachings and the practical behaviours of the infallibles(P.B.U.T)emphasizes and interprets them.
