Fatwa #51357 March 2002United States of America

Is it legal for Muslim married or non-married women to talk or have a non-Muslim male friend?

Answer

Allah Ta'ala says in the noble Qur'aan, 'O, you who believe, do not befriend
my enemies .' (Surah 60:1)

It is Haraam for any female to unnecessarily converse with males other than
her Mahrams. Similarly, using modern technology, via internet, etc. to
communicate with Mahrams of the opposite gender is also prohibited.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
