Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A young man who does not know her and she does not know him proposed to her. She prayed for guidance (istikharah), but she did not feel happiness; rather, she felt distress. Do you approve or not? And what do you advise her?

Answer:
As long as she performed the prayer for guidance (istikharah) and her heart did not feel at ease and her chest did not open up for this person, she should not marry him. She should seek someone else who is suitable for her. Yes.
