Question:
Salaam
What is the halal way of getting to know someone else without family, can we text them as long as it’s halal conversation?
Can we meet up?
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
The halal way is for a proposal-bound courtship to be temporary and transparent, neither long nor hidden. Texting and a public meeting are allowed if they serve their purpose toward the prompt implementation of such a courtship.
