Premarital relationships
Question
I do not know what to do. There was a boy and we were interested in marriage to each other. He was willing to speak to my father and planning on getting married soon insha Allah. Due to a certain fear, and doubt I have put in his mind he is now not willing to go ahead. I am shattered as its the first time I have been through this. We are really interested in one another and I would still like to marry him. With regards to our istikhara, we have both read at the same time, though with different results. He is a bit stubborn too. What do I do in this situation?
Answer
Don't pay attention to these thoughts. All types of premarital relationships are haraam. Let your parents decide who is best for you.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
