Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a man to speak with a non-mahram woman on the phone, or to send her messages, to get to know her so that he can marry her, if her guardian permits it?
Answer:
My brother, as long as he has a guardian, he speaks with the guardian; he does not speak with her. He goes beyond the guardian, because this leads to bad suspicion and accusation, and it becomes a matter of speaking with the guardian. Yes.
