What is your advice to a girl who loves a committed young man, but her father rejected him due to his educational level, and she is experiencing a psychological struggle between trying to forget him and resuming communication with him?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"Communicating with a young man for two years is a mistake that must be abandoned by strengthening one's faith and drawing closer to Allah. Attachment to this young man is natural under these circumstances, but a young man who condones such a relationship lacks religiosity and good character. The father's rejection of the young man due to differences in educational level is logical, as educational disparity can cause marital problems. Pre-marital relationships often fail. You must obey your father, sever ties with the young man completely, repent from this forbidden act, and accept whomever your father approves of."
