Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
Cooperation in righteousness and piety is a divine command, but it must be subject to regulations, because believers are not infallible. Among these regulations: The basic rule regarding a Muslim woman meeting and conversing with a non- man is prohibition, unless there is a need estimated according to its measure, and with adherence to Sharia limits such as avoiding (private seclusion) and looking at awrat (private parts). The woman must be polite in her speech and not speak in a soft, alluring tone, and she must adhere to the Sharia . This relationship is permissible if temptation (fitna) is secured against; otherwise, it is forbidden.
