Fatwa CenterHer husband talks to his ex-wife in private
Question
My husband was divorced four years ago and has children from that marriage. When he talks to his ex-wife, he goes out of the room that we are in, and talks to her in private. Is this permissible in Islam.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
This woman has become a non-Mahram for your husband as we clarified in Fatwa 128779, so it is not permissible for him to speak to her except according to religious conditions, like her wearing Hijab in front of him, and him not being in seclusion with her, and her not talking to him in a soft and attractive manner, and so forth. If he abides by these conditions, and there is a need to talk to her in private by phone or in a public place, then it is permissible, like talking to her about a matter regarding his children from her and the like.
Allaah Knows best.
