Question:
Salam aleikum
a brother of the girl I would be interested to marry
is planing to come for a visit this Friday to Damascus
(he lives near far away on the countyside) before his travel to China.
He will go to another brothers house in Damascus.
I would also like to go, to see them!
I should I behave? What should I say and ask?
What kind of gift would be nice?
Wassalam
Answer:
`Alaykum as-Salam,
Behave your best, make your intention clear to him, and you may gift him a compass showing the direction of qiblah. This is available from a store that sells sowing machines at Jisr al-Abyad in Damascus.
