Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
To the first question of this session. This is a question from one of the listeners from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Amman, Aqaba Governorate. He says: What is the ruling in the Islamic religion regarding a man who has proposed and given a marriage contract to the woman he wants? Is it permissible for him to sit with her alone and go out with her alone?

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and all his Companions. As for what follows, if the marriage contract is completed, fulfilling its conditions and rulings, between the two spouses, it is permissible for the husband to be alone with the woman to whom he has given the contract and to be affected by her, because she is his wife by this contract. As for a mere proposal without a contract, this does not permit him to be alone with her. Yes. And he must not look at what is not permissible for him to look at of her, except what incites him to marry her, for which he is granted a dispensation to the extent of the need.
