Question
I am a Muslim young man and Allaah The Almighty has guided me to the way of righteousness and piety. I have relationships with some respectable girls and I want to guide them to the right path, but I fear that this may displease Allaah The Exalted. Please, advise me. May Allaah reward you well.
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, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and messenger.
First of all, we appreciate your interest in calling these girls to Allaah The Almighty and guiding them to the right path. However, you should know that it is prohibited for a Muslim man to have a relationship or friendship with non-Mahram women, even if they are chaste and respectable women, because this may lead to fornication or committing prohibitions.
It was narrated on the authority of ’Usaamah ibn Zayd 
that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said that the worse temptation for men is women. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
It was also narrated on the authority of Abu Sa‘eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, warned us against the temptations of the worldly life and that of women. He added that the first temptation for the children of Israel was through women. [Muslim]
Allaah Says (what means): {O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. And whoever follows the footsteps of Satan - indeed, he enjoins immorality and wrongdoing.}[Quran 24:21]
Whoever considers the evil and corruption resulting from friendships between men and women, will certainly realize how merciful and wise the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, was when he forbade them from establishing such relations and from mixing.
Nevertheless, you could call these girls to Allaah The Almighty by giving them some audio or written Islamic material, or through advising them to befriend righteous girls, but never form any relationship with them because this may lead to committing prohibitions.
