Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a woman to say to a non-mahram man, "I love you for the sake of Allah," or the reverse?
Answer:
If there is a fear of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) from him, she should not say that to him,[Al-Ahzab 33:32]. But if there is no fear of fitnah from him, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.

Answer:
If there is a fear of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) from him, she should not say that to him,
then do not be soft in speech [to men], lest he in whose heart is disease should covet
فَلَا تَخْضَعْنَ بِالْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ الَّذِي فِي قَلْبِهِ مَرَضٌ
