The Ruling on a Woman in Iddah (Waiting Period) Seeing Foreign Men

Question
A woman in iddah due to her husband's death contacted a man to fix something in her house. The man came to the house, and she spoke with him in the presence of her daughters. Is there a sin in this behavior?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Do not prevent talking to foreigners during the waiting period in permissible matters, and God knows best.
