I Love You for the Sake of Allah

Question: Is it permissible for a woman to say to a [Muslim] man “Indeed, I love you for the sake of Allāh”?

Response: No, she must not open this door!

Her love is in her heart, [and] she loves every believing man and woman, and every Muslim man and woman.

However, she must not open this door for someone specific, because he will be tempted, and then continue to speak to her, exchanging statements of love [for the sake of Allāh] etc… thereby both of them will fall into what is ḥarām (prohibited). [So] no.

إني أحبك في الله

السؤال: هل يجوز لامرأة أن تقول لرجل إني أحبك في الله؟

الجواب: لا، لا تفتح هذا الباب. محبتها في قلبها تحب كل مؤمن و مؤمنة، و كل مسلم و مسلمة، لكن لا تفتح لشخص معين هذا الباب فيطمع فيتواصل الكلام و تبادل الحب و ما شاكل ذلك فيقعون في المحذور، لا.
