Q: I am in need of some much needed advice, my husband wishes to take on a second marriage to a girl who is already engaged. He is also on a very low income and can barely afford to look after our three children and myself, would it still be permissible for him to go ahead and marry her?
A: If she is already engaged then it is not permissible for him to propose for her.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
