Question:
What are the limits of speaking with non-mahram women? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Interacting with a non-mahram woman should be limited to what is necessary. Assigning tasks to her should be limited to what is necessary, such as asking her about something that serves a benefit, like a sale or purchase, or asking if a person is present or not, or similar matters necessitated by interests. This should not be a display of looseness from the woman that leads a man to desire her, nor should it be with a corrupt voice, but rather with a moderate, known voice, as Allah the Exalted said:
wives of theنِسَاءَ
[Al-Ahzab 33:32]
His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (may Allah be pleased with them)
then do not be soft in speech [to men], lest he in whose heart is disease should covet, but speak with appropriate speech.فَلَا تَخْضَعْنَ بِالْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ الَّذِي فِي قَلْبِهِ مَرَضٌ وَقُلْنَ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوفًا
[Al-Ahzab 33:32]
. The women of the believers follow the women of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in this and other matters. A woman speaks to men only to the extent of necessity and with a voice that contains no allure. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
