Question:
Salamu aleykum,
I have been struggling with a serious issue–see previous post–for over a year and half, but I haven’t found a way out despite the duas I’ve been performing (my family assists me). I know that patience is essential while tested, but as I think over this whole experience, I realize what is holding me down: relationships that go against Shari’a law.
I’ve unfortunately been in two of the kind; since, one ended, but I am still engage in an internet correspondence with a woman (Christian) that involves love, pictures, and the such. My question is what is the ruling about nikah (temporary, I am a student and/or permanent) over the internet? Can I get assist here with a “eShayk” here in case it is permissible?
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
It is not permissible and there is no such thing. Marriage is best so try to do it in the way that brings you true benefit.
