A woman speaking on the radio to the mufti said that she was given a lift home from her work by a male co-worker.

Answer

The comment was most unbefitting and lewd. In fact, it was a haraam comment. The degree of Imaani desensitization which eliminates Imaani inhibition to fisq and fujoor, with which the mufti suffers, made him oblivious of the notoriety of his comment. Both the woman and the mufti are lewd. Undoubtedly the woman is a zaaniyah and the mufti fell in her trap. After all, Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that women are Habaailush Shaitaan (the Traps of Shaitaan). When males engage women amorously and express themselves frivolously then understand the veracity of Imaam Ghazaali's observation. He said that when a man is enamoured and enticed by a woman then 80% of his brain cells become inoperative. Thus, the greater part of his brains is dead. He is spiritually blind and fails to understand what he blurts out to make a mockery of himself.

YAQEEN

"Yaqeen is that you do not please people by courting the Wrath of Allah, and that you do not praise anyone for the Rizq Allah provides, and that you do not criticize anyone because of what Allah has not given you. Verily Rizq is not acquired by the greed of an avaricious one nor is it driven off by the dislike of anyone."

Rasulullah (Sallallahu love from the heart. Its alayhi wasallam) said: outer form (zaahir) is in "Zuhd in the world fresh- simplicity and frugality. ens the heart and the There are numerous body." grades of zuhd. In former Zuhd is abstinence times, numerous among from the world. Its soul is the lofty degree of zuhd the expulsion of worldly of the Auliya led them to pass their lives or a considerable portion thereof in mountains and in the wilderness.

The minimum Waajib degree of zuhd for every Mu'min is to ensure adoption of the Sunnah in entirety in every sphere of life.
