In Islam, parental involvement is highly recommended for blessings and guidance. However, a sane adult male or female can perform nikah with mutual consent. Still, ignoring parents completely is discouraged as it may lead to family disputes.
Is love marriage allowed in Islam?
Love marriage is allowed in Islam if it is conducted within the boundaries of Shariah. The relationship must remain halal, with proper proposal (nikah), consent of both families where applicable, and no haram actions before marriage.
Can we make dua in our own language?
Yes, it is allowed to make dua in your own language, especially when asking for personal needs. However, Arabic duas from the Qur’an and Sunnah are الأفضل (better), and should be used when possible. Allah understands all languages and knows what is in the heart.
