Question
Is it permitted to marry a girl who's 3 years older than me when I am 23?
Answer
Assalāmu `alaikum Warahmatullāhi Wabrakatuh,
It is permissible to marry a girl older than you. Marriage has many challenges and sensitivities. One should exercise caution in making a decision in marriage. Consult with appropriate people as well as make Istakhara.
And Allah Ta'āla Knows Best,

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
