Wants to marry a girl who has repented of her past but his mother does not approve
Question: 2529
AS SALAAMU ALAIKUM
I am interested in marrying this sister, that my mother doesn’t approve
off. My mother doesn’t feel she is the right one for me. I am a virgin and the sister has
a long sexual history. But I can tell that she has changed her behaviors and is practicing
this deen better than i am. I would like to know, according to the Quran and Sunnah, is it
a good idea to marry this sister.
I am humbly awaiting your response
AS SALAAMU ALAIKUM
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
You should treat your mother respectfully, and try to persuade her to
agree to your marrying this girl who has repented and is practising her religion. But if
your mother does not agree, and you cannot be patient and you fear that you will fall into
sin if you do not marry her, then it is still permissible for you to marry her. And Allaah
is the source of strength.
