Listening to one's parents
Question
I have a common issue. I want to get married to a girl but my parents don't want her. I love and respect my family but I really want to marry this girl. She is Muslim of course. What should I do?
Answer
Listen to your parents.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
