The answer

If someone loves a foreign woman, it is not permissible for him to visit her, speak with her, or correspond with her. The religiously sanctioned way is to approach her family to ask for her hand in marriage. If marriage is not possible, then both of them must cut off the relationship and turn away from this attachment. Each of them must strive to marry and safeguard their chastity. The questioner must cut off his relationship with this woman. If he is able to marry, let him propose to her guardian and marry her. If he is unable or her family does not consent to him, then let him turn away from her and occupy himself with what benefits him.
