Am asking out of curiosity. Considering the number of times it is mentioned and discussed as a perfectly normal thing. Is there any sect in Islam that allows dating ? May be I misunderstood the term. Does it take place after marriage, with ones wife ? Or after Nikkah ?
I see Muslims ask for advice for a successful dating, and Muslims give useful tips ? Not talking about this forum in particular but in general.
What are the duas that a Muslim recites in order to make his/her date successful ?
Re: How does a 'halal' date take place ?
I suppose meeting over a coffee in a public place constitutes a halal date? A date doesn't have to end in the Western sense of the word. As for the dating duas, can't help you there. Lol.
Re: How does a 'halal' date take place ?
Many people will have a chaperone with them...it's actually encouraged in islam that you speak to your would-be spouse and be sure about your decision to marry.

A 'date' can never be 'halal'!!!!
Re: How does a ‘halal’ date take place ?
I am assuming where there is “Halal FOod” 
Re: How does a 'halal' date take place ?
people who allow such terms to be even associated with the teachings of Islam, I am disgusted with them. I mean halal and date are two different perspectives with different outcomes ..with both at the opposite ends of the spectrum.. these do NOT go together, even if someone classified a coffee in public place .. NOTHING halal about this .. Islam teaches that if you were walking on a street and came by a pub or 'sharaab khaana' ..Islam teaches to cross the road before you pass this bad place ..so on lookers and by standers do not assume you came out of the pub..and similarly .. if two were havin a coffee .. and other customers knew both of the two ..and to their knowledge .. the two arnt bound lslamically ..then similar bad assupmtions would arise that these two are upto no good .. ISLAM teaches to ALways give positive impressions.
Someone mentioned, can talk before marriage .. even then Islam has rules .. Islam teaches that if you do want to discuss your future with the possible future partner then you MUST have a family member(s) present and It does not mean ..MSN or going out for coffee nor does it mean that you o with your family to meet the possible candidate and you two sneak off to their bedroom just so u can get to know each other .. I am being blunt .. but am just covering as many possible excuses ppl come out with.
Therefore, If someone brings up the term 'halal date' Then it is most suitable answer that they do not have a limited or even some level of knowledge about the teachings of Islam or they completely lack and have fallen in to a trap which others have built.

could you elaborate a little more on that point? how does a meeting/discussion with a prospective/to be 'spouse' is supposed to be held??
and how much of 'getting to know' is allowed in islam and in what way that 'getting to know' can be achieved??
Re: How does a 'halal' date take place ?

Re: How does a ‘halal’ date take place ?

Re: How does a 'halal' date take place ?
If its in Saudi Arabia is definitely Halal. :D
Re: How does a 'halal' date take place ?
I am just confused about a certain behavior of few men. They used to love dating so much and take out so much time for it before marriage. New dress, new perfumes, new shoes, beautiful sincere smile, beautiful dialogues....etc. But after marriage, their wives keep complaining to people that the same man (now their husband) don't give them enough time, love, money..etc. Even though the same amount of money if they spend to look good in front of their wives, they get sawaab and blessings for spending each penny, even for the dinner, the money spent is counted as sadaqa.
Our belief system doesn't mind it, we just have to take a nikkah certificate (permanent, not one night) for the one with whom we want to go out with. Even though the shaitaani chaska of pre-marriage dating is not there, but still the roohani and noorani maza of spending time with ones wife is heavenly.
With the same person if one goes out with without marriage certificate, the devil smiles at the couple and brings along all the curse to put in their hearts, but after getting the Nikkah certificate, ALLAH (swt) smiles at them, and blessings and barakahs are showered upon the couple.

In that case there is a lot of hardcore halal dating going on there :D

I don't understand what the beef is with MSN (or texts, whatever). Technology has given us a way to communicate with a prospective partner in a safe and halal way, you're not in a room alone and there is no risk of things going to the next level. If anything, this should be encouraged. It certainly beats having coffee with your prospect with her mum sitting beside her.
Re: How does a 'halal' date take place ?
if the boy and girl are dressed modestly , are discussing halal topics are eating from halal and pure food and drinks , no lustful touching is involved then it might qualify for a halal date. I know many will not agree with me but I am not imposing my POV , I am just expressing my POV based on what I have studied so far from Islamic literature. If the boy and girl are married then all kind of dating is halal.
Re: How does a 'halal' date take place ?
When you call it dating, it brings to the mind the western definition and that is certainly against Islam.
I think the term halal dating might mean meeting in a public place for a coffee or even chatting on MSN to get to know the prospective partner. I dont think its wrong when its used the right way...to find out more about each other in order to gauge compatibility.
Re: How does a 'halal' date take place ?
Yes dates are halal.
and halal dating is also allowed, if you keep your gaze lower and talk with dignity and modestly. you can even a hangout with your possible spouse in order to understand the mentality.
any vulgar or cheap act/touching is not allowed because both are still na-mahram.
your intention should to know about the personality and overall match with you. once you find, you need to tell concern people about your decision.
hopefully, my answer will help you to date in halal manner.
jazakAllah khair
