Assalamu alaikum....
When u go to your Imam to seek advice must u bring someone with you since u would be alone in his office with him?
And when the Imam's office is located in the men's prayer area, how should we go about getting to his office? Should we send a male with a message that we need to speak with the Imam or should we be escorted by a male through the prayer area? and what if u don't have a male to escort u?
So many questions!

What is the khulwah that is forbidden?
Question :
Does khulwah (being alone with a member of the opposite sex) only refer to when a man is alone with a woman is some room, far from the view of people? Or does it mean every instance where a man is alone with a woman even if that is in view of people?.
Answer :
Praise be to Allaah.
What is meant by the kind of khulwah that is haraam is not only a man being alone with a non-mahram woman in a room where no one can see them, rather it includes their being alone in any place where they can converse with one another, even if that is where others can see them but not hear them, and whether that is in the open air, in a car, on the roof of a house, or wherever. Khulwah is forbidden because it is the forerunner of zina (adultery, fornication) and the means that leads to zina. Every case that is like this comes under the same rulings as khulwah in the sense of being away from where people can see you.
And Allaah is the Source of strength.

Men and women speaking with one another
Question: I am a Muslim living in the United Kingdom. There has always been a question in my head which I have tried to find an answer to. Can Muslims speak to people of the opposite sex? I had a talk with a Muslim woman and she thinks that it is okay since we live in a non-Muslim country. My sister states that it is wrong because attraction might develop.

It is permissible to talk to members of the opposite sex out of necessity provided that no excitement exists and no softness in speech is employed. Men and women used to talk to each other at the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him) with politeness and modesty.
You may greet a member of the opposite sex or reply to a greeting unless it could lead to temptation. You can do business with them in the marketplace and engage in other necessary interactions.
As for shaking hands with members of the opposite sex, this is forbidden as you may know.
