Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect him):
It is not forbidden to simply converse while observing proper etiquette, avoiding softening the voice, and not discussing inappropriate topics between a non-mahram man and woman. The prohibited joking and banter refers to what includes a lack of etiquette, softening the voice, and discussing inappropriate topics.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may Allah protect him):
There is no legitimate meaning to a relationship between a non-mahram man and woman. In any case, if the mentioned conversation leads to sinful actions such as forbidden touching, forbidden gazing, seclusion with a non-mahram, arousing desire, or results in corruption, or if the conversation is intended for pleasure and suspicion, it is not permissible.
