Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on speaking to the woman to whom he is engaged, with whom he has contracted marriage, via the telephone?
Answer:
If this is for the sake of the interest of the marriage, there is nothing wrong with him addressing her and asking her questions. But if this is for the sake of desire and for the sake of flirting, then it is not permissible; because she is not his wife by virtue of the engagement alone, unless he has contracted marriage with her. Yes.
