Boy reading his sister's chat with his fiancée

· 23 Jumada I 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

A girl is engaged and she chats with her sister in-law via whatsapp. Is it allowed for the girl's fiance to see the chat if the girl has messaged something related to her fiance? Like the girl has a few Deeni demands from her future husband so she messages the demands to her sister in-law. So can the fiance read the messages directly from his sister's phone?

Answer

He should not be seeing it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) 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…”
