Speaking with a non-mahram woman without necessity is a door to temptation and a means to corruption, for العلامة الخادمي said: "Speaking with a young non-mahram woman is not permissible without necessity, because it is a place of temptation." Therefore, it is not permissible to speak with this girl without a valid necessity, with the reminder that the fiancé is considered a non-mahram to the fiancée until the marriage contract is concluded.
