Question:
Aslamu Alaykum Sheikh I Have 2 Questions: 1. I Asked A Question Before And The Answer Was “Keep to the traditional Islamic way of using an intermediary to find you a husband and you will insha-Allah be happy”. Now I Want To Know What Is The Traditional Islamic Way? If You Can Please Answer That As I Dont Want To Do Anything The Wrong Way 2. I Want To Go To Cyprus For A Week With My Family If You Can Please Ask Maulana Sheikh Nazim For Permission JAZAKALLA.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
The traditional way is to go through an intermediary in seeking a spouse, I.e. someone you know and who knows the person you are interested in to approach him or her that there is someone interested in marriage. It is not traditional to go through many different websites and chats and so on with no one as chaperone and we ask Allah’s forgiveness. The one exception is the website authorized by our mashaykh, sufilovematch.com, and using it is ok. Most of the others will only lead to sinning.
Insha-Allah Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani is granting permission for a short visit to Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani and pray for us while there.
