وَلَا
جُنَاحَ
عَلَيْكُمْ
فِيمَا
عَرَّضْتُم
بِهِ
مِنْ
خِطْبَةِ
النِّسَاءِ
أَوْ
أَكْنَنتُمْ
فِي
أَنفُسِكُمْ
عَلِمَ
اللَّهُ
أَنَّكُمْ
سَتَذْكُرُونَهُنَّ
وَلَكِن
لَّا
تُوَاعِدُوهُنَّ
سِرًّا
إِلَّا
أَن
تَقُولُوا
قَوْلًا
مَّعْرُوفًا
وَلَا
تَعْزِمُوا
عُقْدَةَ
النِّكَاحِ
حَتَّى
يَبْلُغَ
الْكِتَابُ
أَجَلَهُ
وَاعْلَمُوا
أَنَّ
اللَّهَ
يَعْلَمُ
مَا
فِي
أَنفُسِكُمْ
فَاحْذَرُوهُ
وَاعْلَمُوا
أَنَّ
اللَّهَ
غَفُورٌ
حَلِيمٌ

It is not a sin if you make an indirect marriage proposal or have such an intention in your hearts. God knows that you will cherish their memories in your hearts. Do not have secret dates unless you behave lawfully. Do not decide for a marriage before the appointed time is over. Know that God knows what is in your hearts. Have fear of Him and know that He is All-forgiving and All-merciful.
