Halal dating is a way for Muslims to learn about one another to decide if they want to be married, while at the same time observing the beliefs of Islam. When Muslim men and women date one another, it is with the intention of marrying one another or deciding against marrying.
Within Islam, causal sex and dating for fun are considered haram, or not permissible; marriage is the end goal. Of course, not every Muslim follows this or believes in these practices, but this is a cultural reality for many millennial Muslims.
Generally, Muslims are told not to meet their spouse before marriage and are condemned from questioning this mentality. In truth, Islam teaches us love is kind, nourishing and pure. Meeting a spouse before marriage is wholly permitted and allowed if done with the right intentions and appropriately.
But Islam does not forbid love. Ismail Menk, a renowned Islamic scholar, argues in one of his lectures that love, within boundaries and with expectations of marriage, is an accepted fact of life and religion — if done the right way.
Allah has ordained a way for those women. When an unmarried male commits adultery with an unmarried female, they should receive one hundred lashes and banishment for one year. And in case of married male committing adultery with a married female, they shall receive one hundred lashes and be stoned to death.
This meat is called "halal." Muslims are also prohibited from gambling, taking interest, fortune-telling, killing, lying, stealing, cheating, oppressing or abusing others, being greedy or stingy, engaging in sex outside of marriage, disrespecting parents, and mistreating relatives, orphans or neighbors.
Sexual, lustful, and affectionate acts such as kissing, touching, staring, etc. are haram in Islam before marriage because these are considered portions of zina, which lead to the actual zina itself.
Marrying someone you love is not Islamically wrong. One can have feelings of affection, attraction, admiration for another individual. This hadith indicates that love before marriage does exist. It's not wrong to have feelings, like someone or experience love towards them and want to marry them.
Prohibited to you are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your paternal aunts, your maternal aunts, brother's daughters, sister's daughters, your mothers that are those who suckled you, your sisters from suckling, mothers of your women, your step-daughters in your guardianship from your women you have entered ...
Islam makes it haram (prohibited) for women to wear clothes which fail to cover the body, which are transparent and which delineate the parts of the body.
Does Islam permit friendships with members of the opposite gender? The fact that Sharia has laid down rules for interaction between genders implies that such interactions are allowed, since had it been absolutely prohibited, there would have been no prescribed conditions and guidance in the Qur'an.
In short, haram dating occurs when there is no intent for marriage or a future together. In contrast, halal dating is done with the future in mind. There is an extreme focus on compatibility for the long haul with men and women seeking out a relationship that can last for the rest of their lives.
Acknowledge your oneness.
The more loving and connected you are to Allah, the closer you'll be to your mate(s) whether you're together in this life yet or not. “It is He who created you from a single soul, And made its mate of like nature in order that you might dwell with her in love….” (Quran, The Heights 7:189).
Muslims believes that God is so loving that He recreated His attribute of love as an instinct in us. Hence true love is part of God's love, and it is our duty to love one another truly, as indeed He loves us. Without Divine Love there can be no human love.

Forbidden food substances include alcohol, pork, carrion, the meat of carnivores and animals that died due to illness, injury, stunning, poisoning, or slaughtering not in the name of God.
It never occurred to anyone of them that such talk is forbidden. Of course, if the conversation is frivolous or leads to suggestions that are not in line with the serious moral attitude of Islam, such conversation may be forbidden, but only because of its contents, and not for being between man and woman.
In one hadith narrated by Abu Saʽid al-Khudri, the prophet said, "A man should not look at the private parts of another man, and a woman should not look at the private parts of another woman.
Thus, the restriction in this hadith doesn't reach it to be prohibited. According to the above discussion, in our opinion, touching private parts with the right hand is makruh tanzih and not prohibited.
