Bayhaqi 14022 — Collected chapters on marriage proposals -- Chapter

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، ثنا آدَمُ، ثنا وَرْقَاءُ، عَنِ ابْنِ نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ قَالَ: " هُوَ قَوْلُ الرَّجُلِ لِلْمَرْأَةِ فِي عِدَّتِهَا: إِنَّكِ لَجَمِيلَةٌ وَإِنَّكِ لَتُعْجِبِينَنِي وَيُضْمِرُ خِطْبَتَهَا، فَلَا يُبْدِيهِ لَهَا هَذَا كُلُّهُ حِلٌّ مَعْرُوفٌ: {وَلَكِنْ لَا تُوَاعِدُوهُنَّ سِرًّا} [البقرة: ٢٣٥] قَالَ: يَقُولُ لَهَا: لَا تَسْبِقِينِي بِنَفْسِكِ، فَإِنِّي نَاكِحُكِ هَذَا لَا يَحِلُّ ".
Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding this verse: It is a man saying to a woman during her waiting period, "You are beautiful, and I like you," while he keeps the proposal of marriage hidden and does not disclose it. All of this is permissible. "But do not make promises to them secretly" [Surah al-Baqarah: 235]: do not give a secret promise, meaning that a man says to her, "Do not go ahead and marry on your own, for I will marry you"; this is not lawful.
