The suitor’s conversation with the prospective bride on the phone before the proposal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a suitor to speak on the phone with the girl he wants to propose to before he asks her father for her hand?
Answer:
This is something that is not permissible to be lenient about, and it may lead to evil, and it may anger her guardian, because this is not the custom in our society. It is feared that this will cause harm and accusations against the girl, so one should avoid this and follow what is practiced in the community here. Yes.
