Consulting one's parents with regards to nikaah
Question
I love a person and I wish to marry him. Kindly please make istakhara for me if he is the right person or not.
Answer
In the issue of nikaah, Islam encourages a woman to consult her parents. She should seek their guidance and advice before embarking upon anything. She should not act independently as this will lead to problems and difficulties coming about in her life. If your parents are pleased with the boy, his Deen, character and mannerisms, then you may get married to him.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
