What is the ruling on a woman taking on the leadership or supervision of a room in the "Paltalk" program that includes both men and women, and what is the criterion for prohibiting a woman from holding public office?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Paltalk is an online chat program that includes public and private rooms. It allows many people to type and one person to speak audibly. It is not permissible to establish relationships between non-mahram men and women via the internet or phone, and one must repent from that. A woman's work in a place where she mixes with men without legitimate Islamic controls is a great evil that leads to discord and corruption, and it must be forbidden.
