What You Should Know About Halal Dating Customs

By Cynthia Lewis


Most people develop romantic feelings towards people and decide to date so that they can know each other better before marriage. This is what most cultures recommend as people will have an opportunity to learn about the character of the person they intend to marry. Also, some customs have no problem with intermarriages so long as they agree on the basic things. Nevertheless, in Halal dating, things are done differently. Things are done according to the rules that are set. Below are some of the rules set by the Islam.

It is a normal thing to fall in love and it is acceptable. However, if you develop such feelings and tell the person you like, it can be risky as you may or may not be rejected. Hence, if you start developing romantic feelings towards someone, the only way to do the right thing is by marrying that person. However, you are supposed to fast for days and pray to avoid lust if you do not want to get married yet.

Also, you should only do the right Taaruf. This means that you should get married and date later. This is completely the opposite of what most people do. To do the right Taaruf, you should marry first then date later. You cannot date before marriage as it is not acceptable. This is to discourage fornication and heartbreaks. Thus, if you like someone, you have to get ready to marry them.

If you wish to get married but lack the right person to marry, the right thing to do is ask for people to help you. Then, you draft a proposal in which you will include your biography. The people who are willing to help you will give this draft to a girl they like. The girl is also supposed to do the same.

If the proposal is accepted, you cannot be allowed to meet the girl alone. The only thing you should do is date her in Taaruf. Thus, you can only meet her in the presence of her family. This is where you can ask things you would like to know about that person. The time to do this is usually set by the girl and you.

If by the end of this time you will not have a match, you can decide to stop it. However, you have to ask for permission from your parents and she does the same. If her parents or yours do not allow it, you should stop the Taaruf. However, if you feel there is a match, you can ask permission from her parents.

You however have to ask the parents of the girl for permission to marry the girl after you pass all the other steps. After you get married, you are now allowed to date. This is the best way to date because you are not limited. Also, you will not be committing any sin.

Islam sets these rules to prevent people from committing sin against Allah. Also, they remain pure until marriage. Courting someone before marriage is a sin. You will have committed immorality and violated Allah rules. This means that you can be punished for breaking the rules.
