A Woman Answering the Telephone

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q4: Is it permissible for a Muslim woman to answer the telephone in the presence of her husband or one of her sons if the caller is known (his phone number appears on the phone screen)? And what is the ruling if the source of the call is not known?
A4: It is preferable for the woman to adhere to modesty, chastity, and protection to the best of her ability. If one of the men, such as her husband or one of her sons or the like, is present at the telephone, it is preferable for him to take charge of answering the caller. If the woman answers, there is no harm; however, she must be careful to avoid submission and softness in her speech.
