Just Communicating Over WhatsApp with the Intent to Marry - Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Waahid

On an occasion, whilst waiting for a tele-link with Shaykh 'Ubayd al-Jaabiree (rahimahullah Ta'ala) Abu Khadeejah 'Abdul-Waahid (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) took some questions regarding relationships, family & schooling.

One of these questions was the following;

Is talking or communicating via WhatsApp and other platforms where you are not speaking directly meaning that you’re not speaking verbally or vocally to the opposite sex to look for a potential person to gauge in terms of characteristics for marriage then is that permissible?

He (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) gave the following comprehensive answer:
Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]
