Question

I have been engaged for over two years now and this December we were going to get married and then he lost his job so he cancelled everything. I want to know if we can make nikaah and I still live at my parents home until he finds a job? I have been very patient in those two years and now I'm tired. I don't mind if he does not take care of me financially, I just feel nikah is the right way I cannot keep on waiting. I explained that he doesn't have to support me until he gets a job and I'm comfortable with it and its not right considering that he comes to visit me all the time.

Answer

Yes. It is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
