Question:
Salam Shaykh, I like this girl ,we both have great understanding in each other. Her family knows (apart from her father) that we like each other. They haven’t met me yet due to my age (19) and the fact that my family doesn’t know about it.
Her mother said we shall see what happens in the future and I don’t have any problem. My main concern is her father which they say is a sensitive man in these matters and her mother said there is no chance her father will agree on love marriage. Is there any dua which can soften his heart in this issue and when the time comes he wouldn’t have any problem with it? Is it okay for me to read dua e dawood for her father? And no I don’t want to marry her father :D but can this dua be recited with his name in it?
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
You may recite Ya Wadud 100 times daily to your intention.
