Gender segregation is often enshrined in law under governments where sharia law is publicly enforced. However there is no evidence from the Quran or Hadith that enforces the segregation of sexes, and some even claim that there is, in fact, evidence indicating the opposite.

In terms of actual practice, the degree of adherence to these rules depends on local laws and cultural norms. In some Muslim-majority countries, men and women who are unrelated may be forbidden to interact closely or participate in the same social spaces. In other Muslim countries, these practices may be partly or completely unobserved. These rules are generally more relaxed in the media and business settings and more strictly observed in religious or formal settings.
