Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to speak with or contact women in person to collect donations from them? And what is the ruling on inspecting homes to assess the extent of their need, even if there is no mahram (relative one may not marry) in the house?
Answer:
A mahram is required for seclusion. If you are a group and there are people in the house and no seclusion, then there is no harm, provided the women are veiled. This is permissible for the sake of benefit, and for the benefit of the household members themselves, but with the women veiled, no free mixing, and no seclusion. Yes.
