A2: It is not permissible for you to agree to what the family of the prospective bride has conditioned you on regarding trimming the hair of your beard, and lengthening your garment; if their intention by that is
that it should hang below the ankles, and regarding your not attending gatherings of dhikr; because these are conditions that contradict the Book of Allah, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 2521Sahih (Darussalam) , and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Mishkat al-Masabih 3696 , and Allah will make easy for you something better than that, as He the Exalted said: [At-Talaq 65:2-3] And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
