Speaking to a non-mahram

Q: I have come across a sister who is Alhamdullilah very nice and has good knowledge about Islam and even practices a lot. She loves me a lot and I too love her for the sake of Allah. I met her 4 months ago. But now the problem I am having is that she talks too much and I get irritated.

Everyday she calls me and talks for 2 hours. Each and every day she calls. If I am busy and I can't receive the phone she will continously call 15 to 20 times. I am quite an introvert person and I dont like to talk much. She says that I have to be an extrovert to call people to Islam. I Have to be open and talk to people.

I love her but this is something that is really irritating me a lot. She usually talks about Islam and Hadith but sometimes too much talking also leads to gossip and useless talks. I am not able to understand how to get rid of this. Can you help me from any hadaith or Quran which I can relate to her.

Is it not wrong to talk so much whether its useless or about Deen. I can't explain how much its irritating me. Should I cut off with her? If I switch off my phone she calls my brother.

Using emojis

Q: Is it khilaaf-e-sunnah to use emojis that have laughing faces while chatting on WhatsApp? As our Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) didn't laugh showing his mubarak teeth.

Looking after the wealth of an autistic person

Q:

1. If an autistic baaligh child does not know the value of wealth, will her wealth be like the wealth of a non-baligh orphan? Meaning that her wealth would be given to her guardians to use only in the interests of the child.

2. I have an autistic relative. I have some of her wealth in my possession for safe-keeping as I fear that if I give it to her parents, they may misuse it. Meaning that they may use it for their other children also (not only in the interests of the autistic child). What should I do with that wealth?

3. If I have that wealth in my possession for safe-keeping, and someone (non-baligh) uses it without my knowledge, would I have to pay back any amount to the autistic child?

Sharing pictures of women on social media

Q: On Twitter, there's a social media account where a person anonymously receives and posts stories to his followers of peoples’ samoosa runs. He claims that the stories are anonymous and he has inspired many people. The female fans flock over his stories and get emotional if the story doesn't end well and create fantasies of their own lives when they read a good story. He has posted 128 stories over 3 years. Recently, he posted a picture of a car of someone who saw a girl in a random car and wanted to track her down so he posted that picture for his followers to identify the person. Is it permissible to take pictures of strange women and post them on the internet for such purposes? Is it permissible to continue posting such stories when this is the lengths people will go to?
