The answer

The man erred by exceeding the bounds in speaking with the woman, especially after learning of her inclination towards him. A prohibited act is not rectified by a good intention, and a praiseworthy goal does not justify a blameworthy means. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade speaking with women except with the permission of their husbands. His duty was to inform her husband and admonish him. However, since he has repented and shown remorse, his repentance is welcomed for acceptance, and he must fulfill his pledge to refrain from speaking with foreign women.
