Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 70/70=L)

One can have worldly or religious talks only as much as necessary by mobile phone in a state of Etikaf (secluding oneself in mosque with the intention of worship):

وتکلم الا بخیر وھو ما لا اثم فیہ ومنہ المباح عند الحاجۃ الیہ لا عند عدمھا۔ (الدر المختار مع الشامی: 3/441، ط زکریا دیوبند)
