كَذَلِكَ أَيْضًا مَا اشْتَهَرَ عِنْدَ الْعَوَامِّ أَنَّهَا لَا تُكَلِّمُ أَحَدًا إِلَّا مِنْ حَارِمِهَا، فَهَذَا لَا صِحَّةَ لَهُ أَيْضًا،

The common belief that she may only speak to her male relatives is entirely unfounded.

بَلْ تُكَلِّمُ مَنْ شَاءَتْ وَلَا بَأْسَ، يَعْنِي أَنَّهَا فِي الْكَلَامِ كَغَيْرِهَا مِنَ النِّسَاءِ، لَا يَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهَا الْكَلَامُ،

She is free to speak to whomever she chooses with no objection; in this regard, she is like any other woman, as speech is not forbidden to her.

لَكِنَّهَا كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: ﴿فَلَا تَخْضَعْنَ بِالْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ الَّذِي فِي قَلْبِهِ مَرَضٌ﴾،

However, she must observe the words of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: 'Do not be soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is disease should covet.'
