What is the ruling of the Sharia on dating a girl for marriage while providing her with Islamic tapes, without excessive talking, due to financial circumstances?
The relationship between a man and a woman is impermissible except within the bounds of a legitimate marriage. Furthermore, their speaking to one another is not permissible except out of necessity. Gifting Islamic tapes can be done through trustworthy women without falling into impermissible actions. One must stay away from this girl and beware of such a relationship, for Allah Almighty said: "O you who have believed, do not follow the footsteps of Satan. And whoever follows the footsteps of Satan - indeed, he enjoins immorality and wrongdoing." (Quran 24:21). The trial of women is among the greatest trials a Muslim faces, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I have not left behind me any trial more harmful to men than women."
