Question

Can I chat [phone/messenger] with my fiancee?

We will be marrying very soon.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is not permissible for you to chat with your fiancé until your nikah takes place as she is still a non-mahram for you. [1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
