The ruling on a female student speaking with her male teacher
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. A student from Hafr al-Batin, Noun Noun al-Sa'idi, asks and says: What is the ruling on speaking with the male professor at the university during the oral exam, even though I am a committed student, praise be to Allah? If there is no discussion, I might be deprived of some of the grades. Please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
A woman calling a man when there is a need, without fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and without submission in speech or joking, is permissible. There is nothing wrong with a man and a woman inquiring of one another within the known limits that do not lead men to desire women. Allah the Exalted said to the wives of His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (may Allah be pleased with them):[Al-Ahzab 33:32] So a woman may address a man, whether he is a teacher or otherwise, regarding her need, while maintaining seclusion and hijab (the covering prescribed for women), using proper speech that does not give hope to those prone to fitnah, does not contain submission in speech, does not contain joking, and does not contain anything else of that sort. Yes.

then do not be soft in speech [to men], lest he in whose heart is disease should covet, but speak with appropriate speech.
فَلَا تَخْضَعْنَ بِالْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ الَّذِي فِي قَلْبِهِ مَرَضٌ وَقُلْنَ قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوفًا
