The Ruling on a Woman Speaking to Unrelated Men

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a woman in the waiting period to speak to unrelated men? Yes, speaking out of necessity is fine, whether in person, by mobile phone, or by telephone, for necessity, greetings, or asking about something. There is nothing wrong with that. However, I am against speech that involves suspicion or hope for illicit gain.

Answer:
For those in whose hearts is disease. This is not specific to the woman in the waiting period; it is general for all women.
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]
. Yes.
