Can a Muslimah not associate with any non muslims?

Question

Can a Muslimah not associate with any non muslims? She is divorced with kids and this is what shes been told.

Answer

There are different types of association in Shari?ah. a) Mu?aamalaat (dealing), b) Muwaasaat (sympathetic), c) Mustaaraat (kind), d) Muwaalaat (hearty friendship). The first 3 types of association are permissible. The fourth type, i.e. very close relationship is strictly prohibited with a non-Muslim as there is a fear of being influenced against Islamic values and principles.
