Is it permissible for a woman in the waiting period to speak to men or correspond with them?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling regarding a woman in the waiting period speaking to a non-mahram, whether by phone or in person?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. It is permissible for a woman to speak to a man about her need, whether she is in the waiting period or not, as long as it is for a need and there is no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), then there is no harm in it. It is permissible for women to greet men with the salam. But without fitnah, and without submission in speech or coquetry toward the man. She should speak to him in an ordinary manner and say what is known to be good. Yes.
