Correspondence between the sexes

31-03-2003

Question 26890

I am a girl who believes in Allaah and His Messenger. Is it permissible for me to correspond with a young man through what is known as the “Pen pal corner”?.

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

It is not permissible for you to correspond with a young man who is not a mahram for you through what is known as the “Pen pal corner”, because that is something that leads to fitnah (temptation) and to evil and corruption. 

And Allaah is the Source of strength.
