Is a girl obligated to obey her father by not speaking with her fiancé, despite her fear that this might affect the acceptance of her good deeds, or should she speak with him to end the dispute?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The conversation between a girl and her suitor is forbidden by Islamic law and is a means to temptation, because he is a stranger to her. The prohibition is further emphasized if her father commands her to do so, and she must obey him in this matter because it is obedience in what is good. The abandonment of conversation is not included in the hadith that indicates abandonment is for one who harbors malice and hatred towards his Muslim brother.
