What is the ruling on communicating in writing with a girl with whom one intends to marry, provided that the limits of Sharia are observed, and she agrees to this on condition of delaying informing the family and the engagement for a year due to study circumstances, and is it permissible to communicate in writing in the case of intention to marry?
It is not permissible for a man and a foreign woman to exchange messages due to the temptation involved. The person messaging may think there is no temptation, but Satan will continue to tempt him and her with each other. Nor does the man's intention to marry the woman make the correspondence permissible.
