A woman afflicted with "ishq" (passionate, obsessive love) for a man who is a stranger to her is suffering from a great ailment and a dangerous illness. It is incumbent upon anyone afflicted by it to abandon its causes, seek its cure, and treat themselves for it, just like any other manifest disease. The method of treating "ishq" and the disease of love has been explained in no. 9370. We also point out that there is love that is permissible and love that is forbidden, as clarified in Fatwa no. 22896.
