The answer

A woman is permitted to seek a righteous husband through lawful means. Sending messages to satellite channels for acquaintance and marriage is permissible as long as it does not lead to something unlawful. However, it is not the ideal method for marriage due to the difficulty of knowing the person's true condition. The most beneficial means to achieve this matter is to fear Allah the Almighty, seek refuge in Him alone, and entrust the matter to Him. "And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out and will provide for him from where he does not expect." (Quran 65:2-3). "And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him." (Quran 65:3). Whoever desires marriage should fear Allah, entrust their affairs to Him, persist in supplication, be content with what Allah ordains, and seek marriage through the customary lawful means, such as asking someone trustworthy to search on their behalf.
