The ruling on a woman greeting a non-mahram man
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling on women greeting non-mahram men?
It is not permissible for a woman to greet a non-mahram man, because this is a trial—especially if she is young. The basis of the greeting is a recommended practice, so how much more so when a trial is feared from it? In that case, its recommendation is dropped. Even if she enters his shop, she should not greet him; she should ask about the need she has and then leave.
