Is a girl's desire to marry a young man with a bad reputation logical, and should she continue to supplicate despite expecting her family's refusal?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

For anyone seeking righteousness and protection from tribulations: If the young man is religious, of good character, and committed, there is no harm in supplicating for marriage to him. The parents' refusal does not mean the matter is impossible; rather, one should exert legitimate efforts to convince them and seek help from righteous individuals. If the matter becomes difficult, then leave it and supplicate to Allah to facilitate something better for you. However, if he is not satisfactory in terms of religion and character, it is preferable to turn away from him. If you are in need of marriage, seek assistance from trusted female friends and relatives to search for a righteous man.
