Interesting Facts 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.

However, you might be ready to marry but lack someone to marry. In such a case, you should seek help from people. You then create a proposal consisting your biography and give it to the people you are requesting help from. Then, they will give the proposal to a recommended girl who will also send out her proposal. If this works, you can marry her.

If you have sent out a proposal and it has been accepted, you are not allowed to meet the girl alone. You therefore start dating in Taaruf. You meet with the family of the girl you want to marry and ask all the things you want to know about her. The time for this Taaruf is decided by both of you.

If it happens that the set time is up and you still do not feel like there is compatibility, you have to stop the Taaruf. You are to do this after you have asked for permission from your parents. The girl also does the same. Also, in case your parents do not allow the Taaruf, you have to stop it.

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.
