Question:
I proposed to a girl and started visiting her family. Is it permissible for me to sit with the fiancée and talk to her, or not? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Sitting with the fiancée and talking to her is not permissible if it involves seclusion. It must be in the presence of her family, or in the presence of someone whose presence removes the seclusion, provided she is modest and guarded. This is because you have not contracted marriage with her, and she remains a non-mahram to you. Nothing of her is permissible to you except through the marriage contract. However, merely sitting and talking without seclusion, or in the presence of people whose presence removes the seclusion, is permissible. Yes. May Allah reward you with good.
