The following is a verdict by my master A’lā Ḥaḍrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه about meeting a Fājiraĥ: It is true that this verdict (about observing veil with her) is a precautionary verdict; but this precaution is necessary. As soon as you sense even the slightest evil influence, then completely disconnect yourself from her; consider her company to be fire. It is a fact that humans do not realise when they are being negatively influenced by evil company, and after being influenced, it becomes very difficult to consider precautions. Therefore, it is safer to totally avoid the company (of a Fājiraĥ). ‘وَبِاللّٰهِ التَّوۡفِيۡق’ Only Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ grants ability to do this. (Fatāwā Razawiyyaĥ, vol. 22, pp. 204 – summarized)
Maulānā Jalāluddīn Rūmī رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه stated the following in his Mašnawī:
تا تُوانی دُور شَواَز یارِ بد یارِ بَد بدتر بُوَد اَز مارِ بد
مارِ بَد تَنہا ہَمِیں بَرجاں زنَد یارِ بَد برجاں و بر ایماں زَند
(Try your extreme best to avoid a bad companion, because a bad companion is more dangerous and harmful than a dangerous snake. An evil snake will only harm your body, but an evil companion will destroy both your body and faith.)
(Guldasta-e-Mašnawī, pp. 94)

What can I say about the benefits of Dawat-e-Islami’s Madanī environment! Many Islamic sisters who once wandered towards the damnation of their afterlife are now travellers of the road to Paradise. Here is such a Madanī report; this is a paraphrased statement by an Islamic sister from
