Question:
May Allah reward you. The honorable scholar says: A man who smokes was proposed to my sister, and I do not think he prays. All my family approved of his marriage, and I refused. The question is: Is my objection considered undutifulness to my parents because I opposed them?
Answer:
Your objection is considered advice. It falls under the category of advice. You gave advice and did well. If they accept it from you, praise be to Allah; otherwise, you have fulfilled what is required of you and cleared your conscience.
