Question:
Assalam Alaykoum
My name is [private] and my mothers name is [private]. I live in [private]. I am [private].
A friend of mine introduced me to her cousin called [private] who lives in [private]. her mothers name is [private]. she is [private].
Given the distance, I am just wondering whether it even makes sense to travel to [private], but she appears a nice and good-looking girl and I am willing to give her a chance and she comes from a good family. Her parents wont allow me to communicate to her on internet and have requested I come to [private] first to discuss and they will allow me to see her.
Can you please perform istikarah and see whether it is positive or negative and whether I have permission to marry her.
JazakAllah
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
Your best match is not thousands of miles away in a foreign land and different background but in your home country and from your own culture in sha Allah.
