Ruling on a man speaking with his fiancée
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu Mujahid, residing in the United Arab Emirates, says: I have a desire to speak with my fiancée. She has no brother, and her father is busy with his work and does not come home until late. Is this considered seclusion if her sister or her mother is present with us?
Answer:
No, it is not seclusion. However, if you have already contracted the marriage, she is your wife. But if you have not yet contracted the marriage, you look at her when there is a need. If you have looked at her and are satisfied that she is suitable, there is no need for a second look; the first look, which resulted in satisfaction and benefit, is sufficient, and you have resolved to propose to her. As for if you have already married her, praise be to Allah. And if her mother, sister, uncle, or maternal uncle is with you, it is not seclusion. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
