Day Questions

I am permanently married to a man at the moment with my fathers permission, but before we got married permanently, whilst I was living with my parents and still a virgin, we entered into a temporary marriage contract without the permission of my father. This was done in order to talk and get to know each other without committing sin and no sexual intercourse took place. Did we commit a sin?

You did not commit a sin. However, one should pay attention to the fact that the permanent marriage should take place after the end of temporary marriage. When the couple decides to marry permanently and there is still some time left from their temporary marriage, the husband should forgo the remaining time, in order for the permanent marriage to be with a non-Mahram.
