I say, and with God's success: It has been established from the Messenger of God, peace be upon him, that he said: "Whoever loves secretly and remains chaste and dies, he is a martyr." The scholar Ahmad al-Siddiq al-Ghamari has dedicated a special book to this hadith, entitled: "Repelling Weakness from the Hadith of Whoever Loved and Remained Chaste." This means that if love occurs from one party to another, regardless of the reason—whether due to kinship, proximity, study, work, or otherwise—then that person must keep it secret and remain chaste. Even if they die while keeping it secret and remaining chaste, they are a martyr for that. The occurrence of this inclination does not mean to openly declare it or to engage in forbidden paths under the pretext of its occurrence; rather, it is mere illusion and fantasy that should be repelled and avoided. However, despite this indication, it is firmly established that whoever experiences this love must keep it secret for several reasons: 1. It is a hidden matter that no one can be aware of; it is a matter of the heart, and only God knows what is in the hearts. Allowing its disclosure plays with people's feelings in a way that no one can know its truth or falsehood, leading to a maze with no beginning or end. 2. It is a matter of closing the door to temptation; many people will exploit it to fulfill their personal desires. The reality we live in reveals this, as among dozens or hundreds of love stories that are practiced, only one may be true, while the rest are mere entertainment or serve a hedonistic purpose. 3. Allowing it exposes people to the violation of others' honor and the stripping of their dignity; many girls surrender themselves merely out of blind trust in those before them, not realizing they are a joke in the hands of those who specialize in hunting and playing. 4. Allowing it creates a dependency of one party on another, and there may be obstacles preventing their marriage, leading to sorrow, regret, and heartbreak, resulting in unhappiness and distress in the lives of each with whom they are destined. 5. Allowing it diverts suitors from approaching this girl, and some of them may be better than this person and may desire her more than he does; because the knowledge of others about a relationship between a man and a woman opens the door to evil by speaking about this girl's honor and chastity, among other things. 6. There is no real benefit in declaring it, whether to the girl or others; because it is supposed to end in marriage, and marriage is still in the realm of the unseen due to its non-occurrence and the unknown fate of each of them. No one knows the forthcoming destinies for them. And God knows best.
