Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Here is a message sent by one of the listening brothers. He says that his mother proposed one of his female relatives to him, but he refused her. This was for several reasons, one of which is that her father practices fortune-telling. Consequently, he fears that he will fall into undutifulness toward his mother. What is your guidance, may Allah preserve you? The listener is Abu al-Hasan from the Al-Kamilin province.
Answer:
You must fear that this girl will be influenced by her father, who works in this field. Therefore, it is correct to prevent this. You must convince your mother that she is not suitable for you and that you do not desire her. I do not think your mother will insist on marrying you to her if you explain to her your reason for refusing, because she wants what is good for you and what is in your interest. This woman has admitted that she comes from a family with a corrupt creed, so there is a fear that she will transmit the infection to you and your descendants. Yes.
