Is it permissible or forbidden for a woman to work as a caller to Islam (da'iyah) on television, and is it permissible for her to speak with men?

It is not permissible for a woman to work in visual media as a broadcaster or program presenter, due to the great corruptions it leads to. This includes religious programs in which a woman appears as a da'iyah (caller to Islam), as her call must be in accordance with Sharia (definition) guidelines. Her appearing unveiled or even veiled but with her face uncovered on satellite channels contravenes this, and the women of the Salaf (pious predecessors) did not do it. As for a woman speaking with non-mahram (definition) men, it is permissible in principle, provided there is no exposure of awrah (parts of the body that must be covered), no softness in speech, and no khalwah (private seclusion).
