Is it permissible to give charity and supplicate for a beloved person without their knowledge, and is this love considered forbidden?
A woman's supplication for a specific man to be her husband is permissible, and her giving charity on his behalf is beneficial for him. There is no blame for a woman's heart becoming attached to a man, and the best cure for this is marriage. It is permissible for a woman to offer herself for marriage to a righteous man, within certain controls and etiquette. If marriage is not facilitated, then she should turn away from him and occupy herself with what benefits her, and supplicate to Allah to grant her a righteous husband.
