Q: I want to ask if it is permissible for husband to talk and chat with his cousins daughter who is around 21 year? They talk several times’ daily and he assure me that he cant marry her but still Im worried as i have read his conversations and he asks for her pics and want to talk on phone with her. He also want to open academy and want her to work as a teacher there as she is looking for a job. We live abroad, but i don’t like this frequent chatting between them. So i want to know, is this ‘friendship’ a sin and haraam for my husband? How should I confront him?
A: It is impermissible.
In the way you think is best.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
