Fatwa #332519 June 2001Pakistan
Can we talk to a na mehram making him a brother and calling him so as well? Is it permissible to talk to a guy over the net if you make him your brother? But he is a total stranger.
Answer
It is not permissible for Ghayr Mahram males and females to chat with one
another over the internet.
