Breaking an engagement
Question
I am a girl and I am engaged with my relative from 3 years back but now I don't find satisfaction in this relation. I also did istikhara. I asked to cancel the alliance. My relatives are upset for it. Do I have a right to cancel it according to Islam. Please reply.
Answer
Yes.
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.
