Is it permissible for an Aalim to give advice to a woman over the phone?

Answer

It is not permissible for an Aalim to give advice to females over the telephone. This type of interaction has led to homes breaking up. The man is emotionally affected by the voice of the woman who intentionally speaks in alluring tones in flagrant violation of the Qur'aanic command to introduce harshness in her voice when circumstances constrain her speak to a male. Shaitaan and the nafs are cunning teachers of evil. The intention of the man becomes corrupted when speaking to females. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that women are Habaailush Shaitaan (Traps of the devil).
