i was reading youre questions on a previous post with reguards to talking to the opposite sex in islam and the post was closed so i could not reply. i think, generally speaking, the typical uk national thinks that muslim women are oppressed and are anti-social. firstly, in islam a women is allowed to talk to a man, however, this depends on the speech. if the speech is for flirting then obviously this is not allowed. however, if this speech is beneficial or required then it is allowed. my work requires me to speak to males constantly, as i am a pharmacist. my speech is in no way flirting or in private segregation, and thus it is permissable. it always puts a smile on my face when i see the staff impressed to see a hijabi muslim just as human as they are. i always have good responses from the people i work with (as i locum i meet so many people) and alhamdulilah i manage to clear many misconceptions as they ask me so much on islam.
in islam, when muslims want to get married, then the male is allowed to speak to the female as much as they want and untill they are satisfied with each others responses and are satisfied with character, appearance etc, as this is for marriage purposes. as long as the two unmarried couple are not alone and there is an agreement with the parents then this is halal.
other unneccessary intermixing is not allowed in islam e.g partying as islam preserves the family and all adultery starts off with a smile..
hope this has answered youre question
