Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

2. It is permissible as it is an expression of love.

And Allah knows best

Can I talk to my fiancée before the nikah?

“Before nikaah, all premarital contact is not permissible. Hence, speaking to the girl one is proposed to is not permissible and regarded as a sin. This type of premarital contact then leads to the boy and girl getting involved…”
