Is loving a religious person for six years, while adhering to Sharia-compliant guidelines, unlawful in Sharia? And must one wait for this person despite their distance? What is the ruling on the niqab when one desires to work and help people? And how can one convince disapproving parents?

A woman offering herself to a righteous man is permissible in Islamic law and indicates her honor. The questioner did the right thing by offering herself to the religious man without transgressing the limits set by Allah. It is also permissible for a woman to work in a field that suits her nature if she is safe from temptation and abides by the Shari'ah rulings. Honoring one's parents is obligatory, but there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator. Therefore, it is not permissible to obey parents in abandoning the hijab.
