Friendship with Women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q4: What is the ruling of the Shari'ah regarding friendship with the opposite sex, meaning:
that a girl takes a friend or the reverse? Knowing that this friendship is noble and chaste, known to everyone, and not in secret.
A4: This is one of the greatest of the forbidden things and the most severe of the wrongs. It is not permissible for a woman to befriend men who are not her mahrams, or the reverse; because that is a means to fitnah and falling into immorality. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
