Should we act on a dream that advises against marrying an engaged girl whom we desire, knowing that the advice came from a deceased friend?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the woman proposed for marriage is religious and of good character, we advise marrying her, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "A woman is married for four reasons: for her wealth, for her lineage, for her beauty, and for her religion. So, succeed with the religious woman, may your hands be soiled [with dust - an expression of encouragement]." However, if she is not satisfactory in her religion and character, then she must be left.
