Romancing

Romancing is purely Zina but one does not care. In one's presence, someone comes in one's home and he romances with one's daughter!!! There is no doubt that it is Zina.

It may be that one has already thrown a big engagement. Both families may have already met and have already fixed the wedding date. But despite all, it is not permissible for the boy and the girl to meet before contracting Nikah. The greatest culprits in all this are the elders who prefer that their children live in Zina but will not accept to perform Nikah quickly for their personal advantage. Life in Zina is a life that is filled with the curse of Allah Ta'ala.

According to their mentality, the boy and the girl have the right to do all kinds of nonsense but just the Halaal part is not permissible! They have the right to eat and drink, to go out, to go on outings everywhere but only Nikah, they do not have the right to perform!

If one loves one's child, one must make maximum effort so that one's child does not live in Haraam. One must not delay to perform their Nikah as soon as possible. One must not delay it because of certain extravagances that are of no benefit besides ruining one's Dunya and Aakhirah!
