Consulting one's parents when choosing a spouse
Question
I prayed for marriage with a girl and I thought that prayer is accepted. I said no to her afterwards but I don't understand how can I know that my dua is accepted.
Answer
Don't subject yourself to mental turmoil. Rather consult your parents and elders and make du`aa as well. Base your choice on your elders' decision. Insha-Allah you will get barkat in this.
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.
