Fathwa, - The Female Voice & Gender Interaction

Question:
I was told that hanafi women are not allowed to speak when non-mahram
men are present, is this true? Also I was told that according to the
maliki position that women can speak to non-mahrams, but on a business
level. What is the hanafi position on women speaking amongst
non-mahram men in and out of the masjid?
Answer:
Wa `alaykum Assalam wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu,
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful & Compassionate
