Question

Are females alowed to give salam to men? Even in the case where a female is writing a letter to a Moulana or Mufti? Is it permissible for a female to give salaam over the phone to her non mahram relatives, eg. Khalou, male cousin etc. Do women have to wear gloves and socks when going out with full purdah?

Answer

If there is a need for both to travel in a different car and the Mahram travels with her throughout the journey, it will be permissible.

Who are a woman's mahrams?

“This is not permissible. If the woman is not your mahram, then this is obviously haraam and if the woman is your mahram e.g. your mother or sister then too this is not permissible and is against the Islamic teachings.”
