great video and you brought a good advice: open up the horizons Now I have a crucial question:) growing up,usually people have boyfriends before getting married. I grew up in Senegal as well as East Africa. Now I recently learned that Islam strictly prohibits dating. What is your take on it? :)
Well Amina, my husband is from Senegal as well and I know alot about the culture. And yes, you are correct. Islam strictly forbids dating in the one on one sense. However, it is allowed if you have a chaperone, like a parent with you if you do want to go out and get to know someone before you are married. A man and a woman are forbidden to be alone together if they are eligible for marriage, meaning anyone who you could marry if no incest would be involved...
