Is it permissible to marry a woman whose father works in drug dealing?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Religion is the basis for choosing a wife, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, encouraged marrying a religious woman. So, if the girl is religious, it does not matter that her father is a drug dealer, because Allah brings forth the living from the dead, and "no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another."
