Q: My question is regarding my marriage. I am 32 years old. I have done Masters degree in computer science. In the past I have worked for few companies but right now I am not working anywhere or I can say, at present I am jobless. Apart from it the financial condition of my family is also not so strong so that, I can try to start my own business or anything. Now the issue is my family (father and mother) saw a girl for my marriage. I am so confused, should I go for marriage or not and what should I do? As I am afraid of my future like what will happen if I don’t get any job in the coming time, how will I fulfil the financial needs of my wife and also mine. Please suggest me as per Islam.
A: After your five daily Salaah, for a little while make istighfaar and thereafter beg Allah Ta’ala for a halaal source of income and a pious spouse. Similarly recite the following dua after your five daily Salaah.
رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيْر
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
