Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This man is seeking your guidance and advice. He says: There is a man who asked for my sister’s hand in marriage. He had previously spoken with her over the phone, and he also received her without any mahram (relative one may not marry) and without our permission. So, should we give her to him?
Answer:
If you are pleased, if she is pleased with him, and you are pleased with his religion and his character, then the error that occurred on his part is something for which he should repent to Allah and seek forgiveness, and she should also repent, and Allah accepts the repentance of whoever repents. If he is a suitable and righteous match for her and she is pleased with him, then marry her to him, along with their repentance for what occurred between them. Yes.
