Question
Is it permissible to contact ones fiancé (via e-mail or telephone) if still not legally married?Answer
In the Name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
Walaikum assalam,
If still not legally married, one's fiancée remains a stranger in terms of the limits and manners to be observed in interaction. In general, it is not permitted to socialize or interact without reason with someone young of the opposite gender.
If a reasonable need arises, then the interaction must be in conformity to the known proper manners (adaab) of male-female interaction, and should be limited to the extent of the need. Otherwise, it would be unreasonable and interdicted.
And Allah knows best.
Wassalam,
Faraz
