وَ لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیۡکُمۡ فِیۡمَا عَرَّضۡتُمۡ بِہٖ مِنۡ خِطۡبَۃِ النِّسَآءِ اَوۡ اَکۡنَنۡتُمۡ فِیۡۤ اَنۡفُسِکُمۡ ؕ عَلِمَ اللّٰہُ اَنَّکُمۡ سَتَذۡکُرُوۡنَہُنَّ وَ لٰکِنۡ لَّا تُوَاعِدُوۡہُنَّ سِرًّا اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ تَقُوۡلُوۡا قَوۡلًا مَّعۡرُوۡفًا ۬ؕ وَ لَا تَعۡزِمُوۡا عُقۡدَۃَ النِّکَاحِ حَتّٰی یَبۡلُغَ الۡکِتٰبُ اَجَلَہٗ ؕ وَ اعۡلَمُوۡۤا اَنَّ اللّٰہَ یَعۡلَمُ مَا فِیۡۤ اَنۡفُسِکُمۡ فَاحۡذَرُوۡہُ ۚ وَ اعۡلَمُوۡۤا اَنَّ اللّٰہَ غَفُوۡرٌ حَلِیۡمٌ ﴿۲۳۵﴾٪

235. There is no sin upon you in giving such women a hint of a marriage proposal (during the waiting term) or what you may secretly cherish in your hearts. Allah knows that you will be thinking of (proposing to) them. But do not make a secret arrangement with them unless you speak (to them) honourably. Do not confirm the marriage tie until the prescribed term reaches its end. Be aware that Allah knows what is in your hearts, so beware of Him, and know that Allah is Most-Forgiving, All-Forbearing.
