That is if for whatever reason the parties is no longer interested in pursueing they will cut off all contact, no longer respond to even the Salaams, and essentially pretend like the fanily/person does not even exist, leaving the affected part in the dark about what happen or even worried if something happen to the other party.

The Prophet ﷺ taught us to uphold good character and treat others with dignity, even when parting ways. If one is no longer interested in pursuing a marriage, the respectful and Islamic approach is to communicate that honestly and politely rather than leaving the other party in confusion. Cutting off all contact without explanation can cause unnecessary distress and hurt feelings, which goes against the principles of kindness and respect that Islam emphasizes in all interactions.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe30b76658b4c232826","tag":"Worship: Etiquettes","count":79},{"_id":"668d9fdf0b76658b4c2327a6","tag":"Marriage: Pre-Marriage","count":68},{"_id":"6771f804780db971903c8df1","tag":"Relationships: Other","count":35}],"createdOn":"2025-05-08T20:44:08.312Z"}
