The answer

A girl's conversation with a foreign young man and their holding hands is a reprehensible act and a pretext for corruption. If a girl is seen in this state, she must be denounced through enjoining good and forbidding evil, according to one's ability, while observing gentleness and a good approach. The advice can be repeated. There is no harm in residing with her as long as no harm is feared, but one must be careful not to be too familiar with her or to sit with her during the sin.
