1. Will Allah not bless a marriage if it is conducted in this manner? And will repentance erase what has passed and bring good tidings of blessings? And does ending the relationship fall under the hadith, "Whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better"? 2. Is it permissible to send a phone number or address to prevent continued conversation, given that I have sworn not to speak with him? 3. Is it permissible to send him my picture without actually sending it, to enable him to see it, knowing that he lives far away from me?
Such conversations between a man and a woman online are evil and a source of temptation, and the intention of marriage does not justify them. To overcome concerns about marrying this young man, you should inquire about him and consult trustworthy people, then seek Allah's guidance (istikharah). Contentment with what Allah has destined brings satisfaction and tranquility. As for the oath, its ruling depends on the intention; if you intended not to speak with him in a forbidden way, then there is no breaking of the oath for permissible speech. However, sending pictures online is to be warned against due to the corrupting consequences that may result from it. If he wishes to propose to you, then "come to houses from their doors."
