Can I talk to a girl just to ask about her, not for anything else; she is like my sister?
Answer
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
Basically talking to a girl if she is in complete Hijab or to from behind a screen is permissible provided the talking should be limited necessary matters and should not be in seclusion. Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): {… then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease (of hypocrisy, or evil desire for adultery) should be moved with desire, but speak in an honourable manner.}[33:32].
In the above verse Allah forbids being soft in speech, not the talk itself if it happens in the legal boundaries.
However, if a Muslim feels any inclination to the alien woman even in the presence of her Mahram then we advise him to put an end to this inclination at that early stage. Hence, it is a first step to temptation of Satan if he does not cut it off; no doubt it may lead to more serious acts. Allah Says (interpretation of meaning): {O you who believe! Follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). And whosoever follows the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan), then, verily he commands Al-Fahsha [i.e. to commit indecency (illegal sexual intercourse)],and Al-Munkar [disbelief and polytheism (i.e. to do evil and wicked deeds; and to speak or to do what is forbidden in Islam)]. …}[24:21].
Allah knows best.
