Chatting with a foreign man is forbidden, whether he promises marriage or not, for chatting is not a means of marriage, but rather a means of scandal. Therefore, one must repent sincerely, abandon this bad habit, and seek good companionship that helps in this, and cut ties with bad friends and those who frequent these forbidden means. If repentance and turning to Allah are sincere, Allah will forgive sins and guide the heart. It is advised to seek forgiveness, rely on patience and prayer, and reflect on the verses that speak of repentance and mercy.
