Is it forbidden for a young man to continue talking online with a foreign girl—whom he helped become religious and who is facing her family's rejection—with the intention of future marriage?

The temptation of women is among the greatest and most dangerous temptations. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade their temptation. Speaking with a young woman online or establishing a relationship with her is considered one of the greatest means that lead to falling into the forbidden. Jurists have stipulated the prohibition of speaking with a young woman for fear of temptation, unless there is a need. One must repent from persisting in these conversations and strive for a lawful marriage.
