Are online dating and matrimonial apps acceptable in Islam?
Existing Quran Wisdom answer. No named author or scholarly review is recorded here. Check references and seek qualified advice for a personal ruling.
Matrimonial apps designed for serious marriage purposes with proper Islamic etiquette are permissible. They should facilitate halal communication (with guardians' knowledge, no inappropriate content, clear intentions). Avoid apps promoting casual dating, secret relationships, or free mixing. Parents/guardians should be involved in the process.
