The answer

The Islamic faith seeks to protect society and promote virtue, and therefore, it has set restrictions on the relationship between men and women to prevent fitna (strife/temptation). Mixed-gender online groups where both sexes exchange conversations (chat) are a likely source of fitna and corruption and must be avoided. Reality has proven that unnecessary electronic communication between the sexes is a primary cause of many social problems.
