Islamic Dating? Muslim Talking Stages

After Maghrib
About this episode

Muslims dating? Now, that's a conversation worth having. Living in the West comes with many challenges, such as interacting with non-mahrams. With a sharp rise in "Islamic Dating" and Muslim dating apps, many question the permissibly of such approaches in Islam. Some argue that having relationships outside of marriage is Halal with the intention of marriage. The Western dating culture has no place in Islam; however, millions of Muslims are constantly surrounded by the idea of having a boyfriend or girlfriend and find themselves in a dilemma. In this highly informative episode, Sayed Ali and Ahmed try their best to figure out what's going on in the Ummah and provide advice on the best ways to find a potential husband or wife.
