Chatting between men and women
Allah (the Exalted and Almighty) has said
(interpretation of the meaning):
On the Day when their tongues, their hands,
and their legs (or feet) will bear witness
against them as to what they used to do.
(An-Nûr :24)

Shaykh Ibn Jibreen (may Allaah preserve him) was asked: What is the ruling on correspondence between young men and women, if this correspondence is free from immorality and love?
He replied:
It is not permissible for any man to correspond with a woman who is not his mahram, because of the fitnah (temptation) involved in that.
A person may think that there is no fitnah,
but the Shaytaan will keep trying until he tempts him.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded those who heard of the Dajjaal to keep away from him, and said that a man may approach him as a believer, but the Dajjaal will keep trying
until he leads him astray.
Correspondence between young men and women involves a great deal of fitnah and danger, so we must avoid it, even though the questioner says that this correspondence is free from immorality and love.
From Fataawa al-Mar'ah, compiled by Muhammad al-Musnad, p. 96.
Undoubtedly correspondence via chat rooms is more dangerous than correspondence by mail,
but both are bad.
And Allaah knows best.
