The Details of the Question
Can a person talk to his wife that he divorced on the telephone or face to face? Is it permissible to talk to women on the phone? Can a man talk to a woman regarding daily issues, not business, as he talks to another man?
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
The relationship of a man with his wife that he divorced is like his relationship with other non-mahram women. For, there is no marriage between them; she is non-mahram for him. It is not permissible for them to remain alone in a room. When he talks to her on the telephone, he can talk about what is necessary; the talks that stir up sensual feelings are not permissible.
