The Rules for a Man Commanding and Prohibiting a Non-Mahram Woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: What are the guidelines for enjoining good and forbidding evil for a man when he enjoins and forbids a non-mahram woman?

Answer:
Yes, he must not be alone with her in a place. He says, "I am advising her," but he does not seclude himself with her. It must be in public, without seclusion. The woman should be wearing hijab and covering herself, but this applies in cases of certain violations. One must adhere to the Islamic etiquette regarding a non-mahram woman. He does not seclude himself with her. She should not be immodest or uncovered. He does not be harsh with her, as that might provoke a reaction from her. He should use wisdom and good admonition, just as a man would.
