Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a man proposes to a woman, is it permissible for him to speak with her on the telephone and talk to her repeatedly in order to get to know her and know what she is like?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that on the telephone; there is nothing wrong with it. However, he must not speak to her about anything other than this matter. He must not joke with her or speak to her in a way that is stimulating. No, limit the questions to what is necessary. Yes.
