Pearl of Wisdom

'The person who wakes up in the morning and retires at night having worldly affairs as his greatest concern, Allah places poverty between his eyes, scatters his affairs, and he will not take from this world except what Allah has apportioned for him. As for the one who wakes up in the morning and retires at night having the Hereafter as his greatest concern, Allah places needlessness in his heart and brings together his affairs for him.?

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]
al-Kafi, v. 2, p. 319, no. 15

Question : #836 Category: Social Interaction
Subject: Online penpals
Question: Salamn alaykum

I am studying foreign language in school and i decided to find a penpal online to help me improve in that language. I have found a penpal who is a girl and i am a boy.

It would be sad for me and especially for her if our friendship stopped because she has begun to trust me and has often talked to me about her problems and the problems which she faced during childhood which still haunt her today. I feel that often she needs me for support.

Apart from that we talk about our differences in culture, religion (i share with her islamic perspectives in general and often when giving advice), current affaires, school life, and general conversation like "how are you?" "What have you got planned for today?". We contact each other via writing and skype video calls.

Am i allowed to maintain this relationship if i dont lead myself into haraam, and control my thoughts and desires? Is it atleast possible to maintain contact with her?
