Question
I was told that hanafi women are not allowed to speak when non-mahram men are present, is this true? Also I was told that according to the maliki position that women can speak to non-mahrams, but on a business level. What is the hanafi position on women speaking amongst non-mahram men in and out of the masjid?Answer
Wa `alaykum Assalam wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu,
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful & Compassionate
