The answer

Love is of two types: acquired and unacquired. A Muslim must guard their chastity and beware of love being a motive to commit what angers Allah. If marriage is possible for those who love each other, it is better. If marriage cannot happen soon, then they should separate to preserve their faith and distance themselves from the tricks and footsteps of Satan.
