Quotes to remember

13. Ibn Qutaybah said that his disputant said to him, “What is the matter with you?” He replied to him, “I will not dispute with you.” The disputant then said, “Thus you have come to know that I am right.” Ibn Qutaybah responded, “No, but I respect myself more than that.” At this the disputant retracted and said, “And I will not claim a thing that is not my right.”

Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

The ruling concerning non-mahram brothers sending letters to sisters by post

Question:

What is the ruling concerning non-mahram brothers sending letters to sisters by post. Also what is its ruling if the letter is beneficial like writing to a woman versed in arabic literature or poetry?
Answer:

As for posting letters to sisters the origin concerning that is is that it is not permissable if they are from men who are non-mahram, because of that which comes from this by way of fitan (trials) and affairs that require caution, even if she is a woman versed in arabic literature or poetry, because repelling evil takes precedence over bringing about good. The majority of (situations that have lead to) evil consequences (i.e. adultery etc.) have occured due to sending letters between brothers and sisters and due to the likes of this dubious manner of becoming aquainted.
