Conversation with a divorced woman after the completion of the waiting period regarding the children

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a man who has divorced his wife and whose waiting period has ended to converse with her and correspond with her via mobile phone?

The Shaykh:
Does it?

The questioner:
Is it permissible for a man who has divorced his wife and whose waiting period has ended to converse with her and correspond with her via mobile phone regarding the children between them?

The Shaykh:
Speech that is for a benefit and in which there is no fear—there is no fear of psychological or sexual inclination—speech that is for a need does not contradict [the ruling], even if she were not divorced; if she were a stranger, it would be permissible to speak to her about something she needs, provided there is no suspicion.
