The Ruling on Writing Letters and Making Telephone Calls
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling, Shaykh Salih, if you would be so kind, regarding writing letters, speaking on the telephone, and the like?
Answer:
It all falls under this category. A woman writing a letter to a man should not write anything but ordinary speech to the extent of necessity, and she should not write jokes or anything that would make men desire her. Likewise, a telephone call is like a conversation at a distance; the same Islamic etiquette and precautions must be observed, and it should be limited to what is necessary. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
