The ruling on sitting with the fiancée and speaking to her
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A listener from the Arab Republic of Egypt, Damietta Governorate, says: I have proposed to one of the young women and have started visiting her family. Is it permissible for me to sit with the fiancée and speak to her? May Allah reward you with good. Yes. He says: I have proposed to one of the young women and have started going to her family. Is it permissible for me to sit with the fiancée and speak to her, or not? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
Sitting with the woman one intends to marry and talking to her is not permissible in seclusion; it must be in the presence of her family, or in the presence of someone with whom seclusion is permissible, while she remains covered and veiled. Since you have not contracted marriage with her, she is like any other commodity in the market. However, if some people came to you and you agreed to a known price for them, that is a concession of part of your right, and there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
