Where it says, \\\"do not promise them secretly\\\", does this prohibit making direct, verbal promises only (to the person you intend to marry)? How about where it says, \\\"There is no blame upon you for that which you indirectly allude...\\\", does this permit one to send signs that they are interested regardless of their condition? Are there certain conditions or limits you have to meet to be permitted to hint at your interest? For example, a limit to how many months this can last, marriage readiness, permitted signals to send, etc.\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"This verse addresses the issue of proposing to women who are in their waiting period after the death of a spouse or following an irrevocable divorce, which is a divorce where the husband cannot take her back without a new marriage contract. It advises that men may not make direct marriage proposals during this period, but they may indirectly express their interest in marrying her [once she is legally eligible to remarry].\\n\\nThe translation from “Quran Beheld” provides a clearer understanding of the verse’s meaning.\\n\\n\\\"You bear no sin for hinting at marriage to such women in their waiting period, or for what you may harbor within yourselves. Allah well knows you would say something to them, but do not secretly promise to marry each other, other than to hint with words correct and chaste. And do not effect the marriage contract until the prescribed period has finished its term. And know that Allah well knows what is in your souls, so beware of Him; And know that Allah is all-forgiving, long-forbearing.\\\"\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe70b76658b4c2328a0","tag":"Quran: Tafseer","count":34},{"_id":"668d9ff10b76658b4c2329bc","tag":"Marriage: Divorce","count":24},{"_id":"66df527b6df6cc867de7a6d3","tag":"Marriage: Contract","count":11}],"createdOn":"2024-09-11T23:26:29.539Z"}
