Should a female medical student balance marrying a mosque imam who refuses to let her complete her studies, or marrying another medical student who supports her completing her studies, knowing that her heart inclines towards the imam and she fears losing him, and at the same time she fears abandoning her studies and regretting it?

The summary indicates that there are several aspects to consider when choosing between the medical student and the Sheikh:

Firstly: Choosing the medical student coming from Canada involves several problems related to his past and morals, the difficulty of maintaining hijab (definition) in a mixed-gender educational environment, the negative impact of the Canadian environment on religion and conduct, and the difficulty of raising children there due to new laws concerning gender.

Secondly: Although the desire to become a doctor to help people is commendable, it is not your primary mission, and this profession can be very stressful and hinder the fulfillment of spousal rights and childcare.

Thirdly: There is a psychological and emotional inclination towards the Sheikh, and this is a natural inclination that should be beautified by marriage. "If someone whose religion and character you are pleased with proposes to you, then marry him. If you do not do so, there will be tribulation on earth and widespread corruption." (Tirmidhi 1084).

Fourthly: You can choose the Sheikh whose morals you know, while finding compromises for studying, such as changing your specialization or studying remotely.

Fifthly: You should perform Salat al-Istikhara (the prayer for guidance) and frequently make supplications so that Allah may choose for you what is best for the happiness of both worlds.
