The legitimate path to marriage is to propose to the girl through her family. A young man meeting a girl with the intention of marriage without this (proposal) is a temptation from Satan leading to the unlawful, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "No man is alone with a woman but the third of them is Satan," and his saying: "I have not left behind me a trial more harmful to men than women." Meeting a non- girl and exchanging words of love with her is a great tribulation and a delight to Satan, who seeks to lure you both into indecency. So fear Allah and stay away from temptations.
