Is it permissible for a woman to have non-mahram male relatives as friends on Facebook, and what are the limits of interaction with them, such as asking about their well-being and talking to them via Facebook?

It is permissible for a Muslim woman to follow the pages of non-mahram men on social media platforms and consider them "friends" thereon, provided that the content is beneficial and useful, that she does not post pictures of herself or others, and that what is published does not become a pretext for corruption or a disease of the heart.

Nevertheless, it is preferable for a woman to avoid these sites unless there is an urgent need, as safety from falling into unhealthy attachment is paramount.

Extreme caution must be exercised regarding private conversations between genders, due to the potential corruption they may lead to. What is permissible becomes prohibited if it leads to mischief.

If a conversation takes place, it must be limited to necessity and not for companionship or amusement, in compliance with the Almighty's saying: (Then do not be soft in speech [to men], lest he in whose heart is disease should covet, but speak with appropriate speech.)

The ruling on communicating with relatives varies depending on their age and character; with the elderly or very young, there is less embarrassment in speaking, unlike with youth. And with those of good character, it differs from the corrupt.

A Muslim must be wary of the whispers of Satan and abandon what causes doubt for what does not, in accordance with the prophetic Tradition.
