A woman making a phone call when no one is in the house
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
As for her second question, she says: What is the ruling on a phone call for a woman when no one is present in the house?
Answer:
There is no harm in it, provided there is no flirtation. If the phone call is for a need, and it is not for flirting or for evil, there is nothing wrong with it. As for a call for the purpose of flirting with men and causing fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), that is not permissible, whether there is someone in the house or not. However, if a person speaks to someone to ask about something, to ask about knowledge, or to ask about so-and-so—whether he is present or his wife is present—meaning a call that contains no shubhah (a doubtful matter), then there is nothing wrong with it.

May Allah reward you with good,
