What is the appropriate way to propose to a committed girl whom the questioner met in the work environment, taking into account the current circumstance of her mother's death?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The questioner is advised to continue supplicating and frequently ask Allah for success and ease in marrying a righteous woman who will assist him in his religious and worldly affairs. It is important to choose an appropriate time to propose marriage to the woman if she is in a state of grief, and the matter can be entrusted to a trustworthy woman to bide her time. If a long period passes and marriage to her is delayed, he should seek someone else; for a Muslim should hasten to do good deeds and marry.
