The fear of Allah is obligatory at all times and in every action, and this includes avoiding the causes of temptation, such as conversations between young men and women through various communication devices. These can lead to undesirable outcomes and follow the footsteps of Satan. It is important to note that religion and character are the basis for choosing a spouse, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If there comes to you one whose religion and character you approve, then marry him. If you do not do so, there will be tribulation on earth and great corruption."
