The answer

Joking with young women or those who are typically desired is not permissible, due to the ensuing exposure to temptation and corruption. Citing the permissibility of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, joking with an old woman as proof is incorrect, because what is forbidden is joking with young women who are typically desired, unlike old women with whom temptation is generally not feared.
