Question:
Assalamu wa alaykum ya Mawlana!
I’m asking this question for my brother who asked me, since I am a person very close to him, he asked me to ask if it is halal to take his wife to a motel, because this was the alternative that he found to improve his marriage.
Secondly, this is a personal question of mine, I met a girl and she is so far a Christian, I began to talk about Islam to her and she demonstrated very interested. I need to get married and have good intentions about her but feel insecure due to its past and family, some brothers asked to istakhaara for me and they said that this woman will be good for me, but I’m not sure, because I feel insecure, the situation of women in the West today, what do I do?
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
It is halal for a married couple to use a hotel or a motel. As for the second question if in doubt wait or give it a pass. Allah will provide.
