It is permissible for a man to speak to a non-Mahram woman subject to the following conditions: 1- It is done without being alone with her. 2- Not to go beyond permissible topics. 3- Not to subject oneself to Fitnah. 4- The woman should not speak in a soft manner. 5- The woman should be wearing full Hijab and be modest. 6- Not to go beyond what is necessary.

In Islam, conversation, whether verbally or in writing, between men and women is permissible in and of itself, but it may be a way of falling into the traps of the Satan. Whoever knows that he is somewhat weak, and is afraid that he may fall into the traps of the Shaytan, has to refrain from such conversations, in order to save himself. In any event, please see below for some conditions and guidelines.
