Our advice to your husband is to observe the limits set by Allah and to beware of being lured by Satan, for the temptation of women is a great danger. Speaking with a non-mahram woman unnecessarily is impermissible because it is a source of temptation. How many great evils have occurred due to leniency in speaking and corresponding unnecessarily? As for you, you must think well of your husband and be a helper to him in righteous deeds. Remind him of the obligation to be mindful of Allah and to beware of temptations.
