What is the ruling on a game in forums, mixed between men and women, based on each member predicting the state of the member preceding them with words like "romantic" or "affectionate"? And do these actions fall under the prohibited softening of speech? And is what results from it in terms of statements based on conjecture considered a lie?

Allah commanded the Mothers of the Believers to make their speech proper and forbade them from softening their speech, meaning that their words should not be soft or delicate or contain anything that might entice the suspicious. Sayyid Qutb emphasized this meaning by stating that a woman's conversation with a strange man should not contain any suggestive tone, insinuation, jest, or joking. Based on this, the words mentioned by the questioner are not appropriate for addressing both genders, especially since there is no need for them. As for wasting time in playing games, this is considered disliked (makruh) rather than forbidden (haram), as long as the game is free from শরীয়াহ (Shariah) prohibitions. As for lying in guesses and speculations, it is not considered lying in the Shariah sense unless it is intended to be erroneous, because they are merely expectations. In conclusion, the mentioned game is disliked (makruh), and it becomes forbidden (haram) if played between women and men due to the temptation it entails.
