Online Male-Female Chat Is “Haram” : Saudi Scholar
Emirates 24/7 ^ | Saturday, May 31, 2014

Men and women chatting through social network commit a sin because it could lead to a relationship that is prohibited in Islam, a senior Saudi scholar has said.

Sheikh Abdullah Al Mutlaq, a member of the Gulf Kingdom’s seven-man Supreme Scholars Committee, urged men and women to avoid such conversations even if they include medical or religious advice by male or female experts.

“These conversations amount to illegitimate male-female meetings and are an act of the Devil,” he said, quoted by Arar newspaper.

“Most of these conversations are personal and only God knows what they include…but the Devil is there when women talk to men and could tempt them to go further than a conversation…hence, they are haram in Islam.”

As the Quee’ran says- “No Haram, No Foul.”

Wouldn't the Devil also know, him being there and all?
