Due to these, terrible incidents have taken place in good respectable homes. Secondly, don’t teach women how to write. If you have to teach them out of necessity, then be very careful that they should not write letters to Na-Mahram men. Some girls write letters to their brothers-in-law, their male cousins, etc. There should be a total restraint on this. Others write letters for all the people in the locality. At times they end up in Haraam relationships with men , which becomes a means of great fitnah . “ Following link will take you to the original passage in Urdu : Mawaiz-e-Ashrafiya Volume 04, Page 206 __ ScreenShot is also attached Attached .
