وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ فٖیمَا عَرَّضْتُمْ بِهٖ مِنْ خِطْبَةِ النِّسَٓاءِ اَوْ اَكْنَنْتُمْ فٖٓی اَنْفُسِكُمْؕ عَلِمَ اللّٰهُ اَنَّكُمْ سَتَذْكُرُونَهُنَّ وَلٰكِنْ لَا تُوَاعِدُوهُنَّ سِرًّا اِلَّٓا اَنْ تَقُولُوا قَوْلًا مَعْرُوفًاؕ وَلَا تَعْزِمُوا عُقْدَةَ النِّكَاحِ حَتّٰى یَبْلُغَ الْكِتَابُ اَجَلَهُؕ وَاعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یَعْلَمُ مَا فٖٓی اَنْفُسِكُمْ فَاحْذَرُوهُۚ وَاعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُورٌ حَلٖیمٌࣖ

Translations
There is no blame upon you for that to which you [indirectly] allude concerning a proposal to women or for what you conceal within yourselves. Allah knows that you will have them in mind. But do not promise them secretly except for saying a proper saying. And do not determine to undertake a marriage contract until the decreed period reaches its end. And know that Allah knows what is within yourselves, so beware of Him. And know that Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing
Saheeh International
There is no sin for you in that which ye proclaim or hide in your minds concerning your troth with women. Allah knoweth that ye will remember them. But plight not your troth with women except by uttering a recognised form of words. And do not consummate the marriage until (the term) prescribed is run. Know that Allah knoweth what is in your minds, so beware of Him; and know that Allah is Forgiving, Clement
