The ruling on a divorced woman greeting her ex-husband and the conditions thereof

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is a divorced woman permitted to greet her ex-husband and sit with him?

Answer:
It is permissible for a divorced woman to greet her ex-husband with words only, not with a handshake. She must also be veiled, covering her entire body, including her face and hands. She must not be alone with him in a place; rather, she greets him in the presence of people. These are two conditions: that there be no seclusion, and that she be covered. She must not shake his hand; rather, it is to be done with words. That means three conditions.
