At computer bureau business, there are mostly females doing the capturing of data. How would I tackle this from a shariat point of view. Behaviour towards them,attitude, when speaking to them etc.

Answer

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu

Shari'ah prohibits a male to communicate with Ghayr Mahram (not Haraam to marry) females. Due to need and necessity, the prohibition is relaxed only according to the need. Therefore, if you are required to communicate with Ghayr Mahaarim females and there is no Shar'ee adequate alternative, then you will be excused for communicating with them.

However, you should ensure: a) Never to be in isolation with a Ghayr Mahram female, and b) Confine the communication only to the extent of the work without free talking and joking.

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'When a strange male and female are in isolation, the third is Shaytaan'.
