Marrying a girl to give her a better life to please Allah

· 9 Rabiʻ II 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I am in love with one of my colleagues and I want to marry her but what makes me reluctant is that she had a boyfriend and had sex with him in this hope that he will later marry her which unfortunately didn't happen. Now she is hopeless about her future and I think I can help her but I am reluctant as I said. I want to ask if I marry her with intention of making her life better, will this act please Allah and will He reward me greatly?

Answer

If both are sincere and both wish to correct your lives, Allah will definitely be pleased with you both.

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