The question

Is it permissible for a girl to give charity and supplicate for someone she knows little about, and to love a person because he is Muslim, devout, and cultured? Is this considered love for the sake of Allah? Is it permissible for her to take his number and call him to check on him and his family, or to discuss matters related to the website?

The answer

Among the negative effects of a woman's participation in forums is her infatuation with some men, especially since repeated praise can lead to attachment. Therefore, a woman must stay away from mixed forums if she feels any attachment, distance herself from the forum administrator and cut off ties with him, and limit herself to women-only forums, while being wary of the temptations of the internet. Satan exploits suitable entry points for each person to ensnare them in sins, so one must be cautious of any communication with the young man with whom attachment has begun, and not ask for his number or contact him, as that is a door to temptation. As for supplicating for him, there is no harm in it, and as for charity, she herself has a prior claim to it. One must beware of Satan's deception and not trust in one's ability to escape temptation after opening its door, for a person may drown in it after thinking it is a game. Allah Almighty says: (O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan). Love at first appears as a game, and at its end, as destruction.
