Is it permissible to use phrases such as "ya ghaliyah" (O precious one) and "ghaliyati" (my precious one) when addressing female supervisors in mixed Islamic forums, knowing that responses to men are devoid of these terms and are in the plural form?
Calling to Allah through the internet is a great deed, but one must adhere to the guidelines to avoid tribulations. Using kind words in Da'wah is essential, as harshness repels people. Women should avoid being alluring in speech to non-mahrams, especially in public forums. They should not use words like "habibati" (my darling) or "qalbi" (my heart). It is permissible to use phrases like "Jazak Allahu Khairan" (may Allah reward you with good) or "ukhti" (my sister). As for "azeezati" (my dear) and "ghaliyati" (my precious), they are permissible, but caution is required due to the presence of those with diseased hearts in this virtual world.
