Permissibility of 'Platonic love' between a married man and a married woman

Question:
What is your definition of love? I won’t ask question whether it is allowed or not. But what do you say about a person (married) falling in love with another woman (married) and there is no physical contact or that sort of sin. Just pure (non-sexual) love and both agree to be together in paradise. What is this relationship? Can it be possible?

Response:
I would feel uncomfortable with that arrangement. Even though I can’t say it’s completely wrong, you don’t know when things might turn for the worst. If you would have said that you don’t meet that lady and still have that desire in your heart, I would have thought that there wasn’t much harm in it. However, for you to be meeting her and mentioning that desire every now and then, I feel it needs to be avoided.
