Question

Is it haram that I suggest a brother to contact a woman to ask for information about a course. Its emailing her on a cyber security course.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

In principle, it is not permissible to communicate with a non-Mahram woman unnecessarily.

A male may communicate with a female out of need, on condition there is no fear of Fitnah.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
