Cooking for a non-mahram boy
Question
I agreed with someone more than once that I will cook something for him as he helped me study. Now I don't really talk to boys. Will it be right for me to cook for him as I gave him my word and it is really important in our religion or should I avoid it?
Answer
Avoid it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
