Q: I wanted to buy a turban from this website gosikh.com. Very nice quality, is it ok? The ones we get here are very poor quality and loose there colour after one wash. These are proper material. I also wanted to know the Sunnah length in metres or hand spans.
I really want to thank you for answering my questions. I’m in a dilemma at this point. I want to go study Insha Allah to Pakistan. My brother is already there. I am 23 years old and the thing is that should I get married before I go or not? Background details being that I will take entry into the second year Insha Allah of the 8 year program. The girl has been found they have spoken to the family. My sister tells me the girl is willing to get married and come with me to Pakistan and study in this Madrasah called Aisha Siddiqa for 3 years just Arabic while I study. I feel uneasy. The thing is Allah guided me and I made a promise to him in a bad state while I was not practising Deen that I would change my life. I started growing my beard Allhumdulilah, it’s been 3 years. I found so much peace and the one thing I have promised my self is that I Insha Allah will do Alim course for the sake of Allah. I feel that it is incumbent on me after Allah guided me that this be done. I feel getting married won’t let me study to my potential. The thing about this girl is that we met in day of Jahiliya and I completely stopped talking to her she changed her life she wears Niqaab and stuff. My sister is her friend. I went thorough my parents this time around because they knew about us before I started practising so they kind of pushed it that’s why she is there. Another option I see in my mind is if I do get married she comes to Pakistan 2 years after. I been doing istikhara. I am so lost and don’t see anything. I just want to study properly and not just waste my time there. It will also be hard to go one year jamat. Please advise. I am getting very stressed.
A:
Yes. However, fasten it in the way Muslims generally fasten it.
The length was 7 or 12 ziraa (handspan).
If you have a need to marry then you should marry immediately.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
