Question

The current rishta (arranging marriage partners) culture scares m e. All the ladies claim that to find a good life partner photos must be sent to various matrimonials and profiles must be created. It scares me greatly to think that my daughter who has never as much as uploaded a whatsapp picture must send her photos to 100s of strangers in a bid to finding a life partner. Coming from a small town with hardly any Muslims around me I'm in an absolute dilemma. Please can the Ulama guide me with some duas. What should I do? I need advice.

Answer

These marriage-making forums are all shaitaani devices and traps to ruin the akhlaaq (morality) of Muslims. All activities of these shaitaani agencies are immoral and haraam. It is shameless and immoral for a Muslim female to prostitute herself on these satanic media. Understand well that marriage like Rizq has been pre-ordained and determined by Allah Ta'ala. Just as it is haraam to pursue one's Rizq in haraam ways, so too is it haraam to make haraam endeavours for marriage. These internet agencies are vices of Iblees.

Do not fall in the satanic trap of these ladies who are inviting you and your daughter to haraam. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that women are Habaailush Shaitaan (The Traps of Shaitaan). Iblees has harnessed these wayward women into his plot for ruining the morals of others.

Be contented with lawful, discreet endeavours and with dua. Make dua and adopt Sabr. Whatever Allah Ta'ala has set out in a person's Taqdeer will happen. No one can prevent or thwart it. After every Salaat recite the first Aayat of Surah Nisaa' thrice, and supplicate to Allah Ta'ala. Also remember, that indulgence in haraam, especially such haraam as facebook, instagram and gheebat whatsapp groups negates

(acceptance of dua).
