Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, Shaykh, I am a young man who is thirty years old, and it has been five years since I wanted to get married. My father and mother are divorced. My father wants me to marry my mother’s daughter, and he says that if I marry anyone else, he will disown me. My mother says that if I marry her, she will disown me and be angry with me until the Day of Judgment. I am in a state of confusion regarding my situation.
Answer:
You must fear Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and strive to please your parents and reach an understanding with them. However, you are not forced to marry a woman you do not approve of. Neither the father has the right to force you, nor the mother has the right to force you or prevent you from marrying her if she is suitable.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
