What is Islamically permissible between a man and his fiancée after the marriage contract (aqd al-qiran), and why do difficulties increase after every private meeting with her?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the marriage contract is concluded with its pillars and conditions, without any impediments, then the woman is considered a wife, not a fiancée, and it is permissible to enjoy her. However, the condition, if it exists, of not consummating the marriage for a certain period must be fulfilled to avoid social problems. Everything that happens in the universe is by Allah's decree and destiny, and the calamities that befall a person may be due to sins he has committed. Therefore, it is advisable to fear Allah, obey His commands, abstain from His prohibitions, be patient with one's wife, and supplicate to Allah to bless their companionship.
