is Dating Haram in Islam?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm interested in knowing the protocols for dating, being a new Muslimah, not sure of all the rules and regulations. Is dating haram? What about group dating? Is dating non-Muslims haram? Does anybody know?

Answer 1

yea it has to be in like a regulated environment

Answer 2

All forms of dating is haram. Even with a guardian accompanying you on dates. The only way a man and woman can be together is in marriage.In Islam it is believed that dating always leads to pre-marital sex. A Muslim man can marry out of his religion but a woman cannot because her husband cause her to lose her reglious rights.

Answer 3

Any type of dating is haram in Islam

Answer 4

I just wrote a long dissertation on dating, but someone else did a better job,, so I deleted my answer She is right in the very religious communities, but in non-Muslim environments the rules are a little more lax. Any serious man would respect your chastity and not date you unless he had intentions of marrying you. I doubt that in a non-Muslim community he would adhere to the rule of being chaperoned.

Answer 5

salaam alaikum sister. congradulations on taking your shihadah. dating is not haram. but first you may only date with the intention of marraige, i.e. getting to know someone that you are sincerely considering for marraige. secondly, you may not be alone with him. you should bring a male relative with you as a chaperone to ensure that the man you are "dating" behaves appropriately towards you and respects your chastity. if no family members are muslims and cannot provide this service for you, you may have a "wali." this is a muslim that serves as your gaurdian in situations where non-muslim parents cannot fulfill the duty. thirdly you may not date a non-muslim, b/c a muslim woman can only marry a muslim man. this is to ensure that your rights as a muslim woman are protected. since you can only date with the intention of marraige, this would not be allowed. dating in islam is not like dating as you have known it to be before. you may not kiss or touch each other in any way that could cause arrousal. he may also not see you uncovered. if you is engaged to you, he may see your hair and your arms under the presence of your gaurdian in order to decide if he is attracted to you, but only if you are engaged. good luck, sister!!!

Answer 7

Congratulations for accepting the truth. May Allah the Almighty place you in the highest level of heaven.
This is haram, and strictly prohibited in islam.
Islam needs a woman to be fully covered and not even talk to 'ghair mehram'.
A 'ghair mehram' is the one who can be married with.
There are very specific rules and regulation applies on women and men in this regards.
So please be carefull in this.

Answer 8

yes , dating is haram in islam

Answer 9

it depends.....r u planning to be sexually intimate with the person u r dating?? if so then yes it is 7aram. In islam, if u are not related to a woman then u should not be alone with her, so if u r planning to go out with someone i advise u to go with a group. Also, ur not really supposed to touch her either, because u are a foreign man (no relation).
