Question

Can I have a girl/boyfriend if I am going to marry her/him later?

Answer

By Shaykh Salim Ghiza

It is not permissible to have a girl/boyfriend even if you are going to marry them or are engaged to them. Only a Nikkah (Marriage) makes it permissible for a man and woman to see each other and intermix with each other.

Ofcourse, Allah (swt) knows best

Just to add to this - it seems like a very common lie that girls are told - "I will marry you, but first..." and then a few years later she finds out its not true.
