Question:
Assalam-allaikum-warahmatullaah-waa-bara-katuh,
I’m in love with someone. We both love each other but we decided that we will get married if our families agree for our relation. We won’t go against our family, but at the same time we can’t lose each other. I can’t see myself with anyone else besides him as my partner. If you can do istekhara for us and give me any wazeefa to recite for that our family fix our marriage.
If we can get engage this year and get married next year after completing study. I’ll be really thankful to you if you can help me.
Thank you
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Inform your respective families to give them a chance to learn of your choice and support you both. Give sadaqa often and ask Allah for success through obedience and through leaving sin. Also as you know, love builds up over time and trials, what precedes marriage is not best described by that name.
