Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My mother is insisting that I marry a woman I do not want to marry, and I have mentioned this to her repeatedly. He says: What should I do? Does not marrying her count as undutifulness to my mother? What is your advice?
Answer:
No, it is not undutifulness to your mother as long as you do not desire marriage to her without consent. So convince your mother that this is not suitable for you and that you have not considered it. If you do not convince her with this, she wants your benefit, not your harm. If you convince her, I do not think she will insist that you marry her. Yes.
