I said what's your advice to Muslim who wants to marry someone who their parents do not approve on based

maybe on cultural or social reasons?

We firstly have tried I'm sure you're aware of myself, I'm sure of yourselves and so many other scholars and many people,

we have tried to educate the parents to say that Islam there is no racism, tribalism, culturalism, even

nationality and so on. If there is general kaffa, general similarity, say you are brought up in Kenya

and you belong to different groups in terms of race or in terms of ethnicity, in terms of tribe, the fact that you have general similarity in upbringing is very, is the mere, the fact that you have similarity is actually the kafahaha is enough. The rest of it is from man, not from Allah and his Rasul. So we would educate the parents to start with.

Secondly is speak to your parents, engage them, convince them,

listen to what they are saying.

Sometimes they are right. Sometimes the person may not be the one who may look after you. But never is the line drawn based on race or based on background and ethnicity. Rather it is

drawn on Takwa, on Ahlaq, on Dean, Dean andhlaq basically.

If the person has Dean of a level and Aklaq of a level,

then Alham du relah, it's really, you know really sufficient.

We normally say if someone can afford it, they are responsible.

They have Dean and Achla, let it be if both of them are interested in,

shawlah.

So when parents refuse we need to engage them today someone

actually sent me a message while we were coming here to say my parents are not

happy they want this person to have a certain type of a job before they can

marry me. So the answer that I would have is either convince your parents or convince that person to say get this type of a job
