Getting to Know Each Other Between a Young Man and a Young Woman Online for the Purpose of Marriage
A girl got to know a young man in America online for the purpose of marriage, and this relationship has been ongoing for 26 days with the knowledge of the parents. Due to the circumstances of the Corona pandemic, the young man could not come to Jordan to complete the engagement. Is there a sin on the young man and the girl? And is there a sin on them if they continue to communicate with each other?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: This young man is considered a foreign man to the girl, and it is not permissible to establish a relationship with him, even if the parents agree, before there is a legal bond of engagement or contract. And God knows best.
