What are the etiquettes of engagement and the limits of interaction between the suitor and his fiancée, and is it permissible for a man to use the rufl with someone other than his wife?
The boundaries between a suitor and his fiancée are the same as those between a man and an unrelated woman, except for what Allah has permitted, such as looking at what encourages one to marry her. The suitor is a stranger to his fiancée until he marries her. He is only permitted to speak to her in a befitting manner when necessary, and by the consensus of Muslims, it is forbidden for him to touch or kiss her. Moreover, all Muslims know the impermissibility of committing fornication, even if the man uses a condom.
