Why can a Muslim not date or meet up with a woman?
Islam prohibits a man from being alone with a non- woman, even if it is for the purpose of teaching her the Qur'an, because Satan is the third of them. If a woman wishes to learn about Islam, she can read translated books or receive explanations in the presence of her mahram, or a group of women, or trustworthy men, provided there is no seclusion (). Seclusion is forbidden because it is a path to corruption and indecency, and blocks all avenues leading to evil. Benefits can be exchanged between a man and a woman without seclusion, through letters, or meeting from behind a veil, or in the presence of people who eliminate the possibility of seclusion.
