What is Islam's view on a young man and a young woman coming to the divorced woman's house to study in the presence of her daughters, given that she is veiled and religious and no reprehensible acts occur?
The divorced woman should be advised against allowing men into her home, and to limit visitors to trustworthy women when there is a need for study, for fear of temptation (fitna) and corruption, and out of concern for her two daughters and her reputation. One must be wary of the devil's entry points, for the devil misleads even the righteous. The questioner is advised to focus on raising his two daughters, teaching them the Quran and , obliging them to wear the legal , and choosing righteous female companions for them, as a Muslim is responsible for his flock. This statement is not intended to disparage women; rather, it is advice given out of concern for her, due to stories of righteous people who deviated because of relationships between the sexes, and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) warning about the temptation of women.
