Is there considered to be a sin in a courtship relationship between a young man and a young woman via the Internet, from which an intention for marriage and an agreement upon it arose, knowing their sincerity and the absence of exchanging photos or phone conversations, with the relationship limited to the Internet, awaiting the setting of a date for the engagement?
You must repent to Allah Almighty from the forbidden relationship by cutting it off, regretting what has passed, and resolving not to return to it. There is no impediment to completing the engagement if the suitor is characterized by good manners and religiosity and has repented from what he did.
