Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I am a questioner who says: My father insists on breaking off my engagement to a pious woman of good character. What is obligatory for me in this matter?
Answer:
He does not prevent his son from marrying a woman who has good qualities, because he has no justification for doing so; he has no right to prevent it. However, the son should try to convince him and be gentle with him. Yes.
