ولا جناح عليكم فيما عرضتم به من خطبة النساء او اكننتم في انفسكم علم الله انكم ستذكرونهن ولكن لا تواعدوهن سرا الا ان تقولوا قولا معروفا ولا تعزموا عقدة النكاح حتى يبلغ الكتاب اجله واعلموا ان الله يعلم ما في انفسكم فاحذروه واعلموا ان الله غفور حليم

There is no blame On you if ye make An offer of betrothal Or hold it in your hearts. God knows that ye Cherish them in your hearts: But do not make a secret contract With them except in terms Honourable, nor resolve on the tie Of marriage till the term Prescribed is fulfilled. And know that God Knoweth what is in your hearts, And take heed of Him; And know that God is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.
