Question:
Is it haram to take pictures of your underwear and send it to your boyfriend because you can’t have sex till marriage?
Answer:
It is haram to titillate someone who is not your spouse as that breaks the divine command “Do not even approach zina.” Nevertheless the Sunna permits and even recommends the proposer to see three parts of the one they propose to: face, hands and feet as it is more conducive to a desire to marry them; which means that a form of what we may call “appropriate and decent” pre-marital desire is permitted when the objective is marriage. So there are conditional boundaries to permissiveness and these may not be clear to many people.
