What You Should Know About Halal Dating Customs

By Cynthia Lewis


When two people meet and become interested in each other, they can decide to start a romantic relation that will mature in to courtship and finally marriage. People from different cultures also meet and start a relationship so long as they agree on certain things. However, there are some cultures that do not allow such interrelationships. This is because they have their strong customs that cannot be easily broken. These cultures have rules that people should follow if they are to date each other. Have a look at some of the Halal dating rules.

It is an acceptable thing for people to develop strong feelings to other people. These feelings result to love and finally, people can get married after they have dated for some time. However, this is different in the Islamic religion. When you start developing feelings towards a person, you are supposed to marry them. If you feel that you are not yet ready to get married, you have to take time to fast and pray for the lustful feelings to go away.

Doing the right Taaruf is also a rule that should be followed. This is the opposite of most customs who encourage people to date before marriage. Taaruf requires people to get married first then date after marriage. The reason behind this is that people can get hurt and ruin relationships when they start a relationship before marriage. To avoid heartbreaks, you should get married then start your courtship.

If you are ready to get married but you do not have someone yet, you can ask people to help you. You can therefore make a proposal that will consist of your biography. You will give this proposal and biography to the people you are requesting help from. They will then hand it to a girl they recommend. The lady will also do the same and if it works, you can get married.

In case the proposal is accepted, you should meet the girl but not alone. You have to meet her with her family. If you want to know anything important about the girl, you will ask during this meeting. The time to conduct this Taaruf is usually three months and you should decide together with the girl. Thus, this is where you will learn critical things about the girl.

In case the time elapses and you find out that you are not a match, you can stop the Taaruf. This is done the right way as well. You have to ask your parents for permission to stop the Taaruf while the girl does the same. If you are compatible, the next step is marriage.

Once you have passed all the steps that are required, you can now marry the girl you are interested in. You can now start to date after marriage. It is sweeter this way as you can do anything that you want. This is the recommended form of relationship in Islam.

This Islamic custom is followed to prevent people from committing fornication and sinning against Allah. If you date before marriage, you will be sinning against Allah. Hence, to avoid committing immorality, you should date the right way. This way, you will remain pure and receive blessings from Allah.
