This is because it is easier to focus on prayer when there are no distractions, and it also helps to maintain modesty between genders. It is important to remember that this advice was given by a man who was known for his kindness, justice, and fairness towards all people regardless of gender or social status. Therefore, this advice should be taken as a guideline rather than an absolute rule; if there are any special circumstances or needs then they should be taken into consideration when deciding seating arrangements.
