The engagement of a woman with her suitor
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for an engaged woman to go out with her suitor to public places so that they can get to know each other?
Answer:
Once she becomes his wife, it is permissible for her. Mere engagement does not make that permissible for him. If the marriage contract is concluded and she becomes his wife, then there is no harm.
