Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on the relationship or conversation between a man and a woman who is not his mahram, using what is called social media? This happens regularly, and he says this relationship is a brotherly one. Is this permissible?
Answer:
One should avoid what involves fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). A woman’s phone call involves fitnah, so one should avoid it, especially if it is on a regular basis. Avoid phone calls with women.
