I have a few Qs regarding marriage that of marrying someone of different race,culture to yourself!
Well this is always the case that MOST (correct me if am wrong) parents want their daughters/sons to marry someone of their Ethnicity ,race or whatever way you wanna put it.
Right well my Q is , is that wrong? What if the daughter/sons will is not to marry someone of their own background but another background etc, but parents think its best to marry someone from your own background .anyways, what does Islaam say about this?
I think as long as he/she a muslim (practising muslim) the background and the other rubbish doesnt matter!
And no im not asking this Q on the behalf of myself lol just curiosity almost killed the Goat :-\
I would like to know what Islaam says about this, are the parents committing a sin to not let their child marry someone from a different background etc. or lets just say even of their choice?
Could you please provide sources InshaAllaah.
And if i do not make sense, feel free to say :D
Jazakallahu Khaayran
Indeedy :D
So yeah *Looks at everyone in a funny way:skeleton:*
Wa Alaaykum Salaam
:D
Sis, it is always better to take advice from the elder people in every matter of your life as they are more experienced than us.
Islam eradicated all type of racial distinctions centuries before. So we all are equal. So there is just nothing wrong in marrying someone of different background or ethnicity.
Now for the marriage, Prophet (s.a.w) said in his lovely hadith that
"a man may marry someone for one of these 4 reasons.
1. that the woman is beautiful
2. that the woman is wealthy
3. that she has a good family back ground (don't know this one for sure :embarrass
4. that the woman has "taqwa"
And the best among these reasons is number 4."
So if the person you find has "taqwa" but belongs to a different background, than I see nothing wrong in marrying him/her. because we are obeying our Prophet (s.a.w).
As far as parents are concerned, they can give their advice, but they can't FORCE any of their children into marrying someone he/she don't like.
During the Nikah, their daughter or son can easily refuse to sign the contract and parents can't use force or violence against him/her.
