Is it permissible for a man who has contracted a marriage to speak with his wife on the phone with the knowledge of her family?

Question:
A man has contracted a marriage with a woman but has not consummated it. Is it permissible for him to speak with her, for example, on the phone, with the knowledge of some of her family members?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with speech that contains no fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and no of what they call what they call flirtation. Speech that is for a need, just asking questions, and contains no fitnah, is fine. You may ask her and he may ask on the phone or in person; there is nothing wrong with it, to the extent of the need, provided there is no fitnah and no submission in speech. This is permissible.
