Is it permissible for a man to chat with a woman?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Assalamu va alaykum, Is it halal or haram if a man is chatting with a woman.. They them self thought they are brother and sister.. is it halal or haram? Please let me know… Weather it is chatting or in mobile is it haram or hala? Thanks!

Answer

(Fatwa: 526/479=D)

Talking to ghair mahrah (strange/other than your immediate relatives) unnecessarily is unlawful. They will not become brother and sister only just calling themselves so:

قال فی الدر: و لایکلم الا عجوزا عطست او سلمت فیشمتھا و یرد السلام علیھا و الا لا، قولہ والا لا ای و الا تکن عجوزاً بل شابۃ لا یشمتھا و لا یرد السلام بلسانہ (الدر: 5/261)

According to the above text, when one is not allowed to reply the greetings of a young woman then how he will be allowed to talk to her.
