💍 Khitbah & pertunangan · #12
May an engaged couple talk on the phone or WhatsApp every day?
Communicating about marriage matters is allowed, but affectionate, romantic or excessive conversation is not, as you are still not mahram.
Discussing the date of the ceremony, finances, accommodation or ta'aruf questions is a need. But late-night calls, words of love, flirtatious joking or sharing private photos can open the door to temptation (fitnah). Allah reminds women not to soften their speech so that one with a disease in his heart is moved to desire (al-Ahzab 33:32), and commands men and women to lower their gaze. Practical steps: use a WhatsApp group that includes family members, limit the time, and keep a respectful tone. If feelings are hard to control, that is a sign to bring the contract forward.
