Question

Can a man console a woman, and a woman console a man?

Answer

According to the basic law, there is no prohibition for a man to console a woman, and likewise for a woman to console a man. It is appropriate for him to stand at the entrance and say "May the Omnipresent console you," rather than sitting and engaging in conversation.
