We advise against acquiring wealth through dating sites due to the evils and begging involved. It is better to focus on the rectitude of religious and worldly affairs by learning and acting upon the rulings of and excelling in studies to obtain a permissible job. If it is possible to marry the girl, then he should proceed; otherwise, Allah will replace her with someone better. Until then, it is advisable to seek Allah's help, make supplications, fast, and keep company with the righteous, while not being preoccupied with visions and dreams, as rulings are not built upon them.
