Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 18100 )
Q1: I know a young Muslim woman, and I wanted to go to her family to ask them for their daughter’s hand in marriage, but what holds me back is that she works, and as you know, the conditions in Europe , especially France, are such that
I have not spoken to her about this matter yet, nor do her parents know anything about it. My question is: What is your opinion on this matter? Because many young men in France and European countries are in this situation and are asking, but no one answers them.
A1: We advise you to take the initiative to marry in order to protect your chastity, especially since we are in a land of exile and a abode of disbelief. Strive for a wife of good character, religion, and modesty, so that she may be a helper for you in adhering to the purified Shari'ah. If you seek carefully and verify that a woman is such, then with sincere intention, you will be successful by the permission of Allah the Exalted. May Allah guide us and you to what is best for religion and worldly life. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
