Fatwa #90423 July 2003Pakistan
Could you please tell me about a du'a to marry a specific person to whom I'm in love (though one sided i.e. other person doesn't know about this)?
Answer
If you love a person and wish to marry him/her, you should adopt the means to fulfil your wish.
Your wish cannot be fulfilled by merely prescribing some Du?aa without adopting the means. Marriage is a mutual issue between two partners. There must be a proposal and consent. If you find the person to be a suitable partner, you should send a proposal and wait for the response. It will not help you not informing the person of your intentions to marry him/her. In fact, Shaytaan will use the thought of the person you love to mislead you with evil ideas and thoughts. That can be very detrimental to your spirituality.
