If she does not want to approach her father about this, she must try to find alternative ways to inform him and get his approval, like through elders, local scholars, etc.

Sunni . Girl . Marriage . Community . Marriage

What should I do if I am marrying a Sunni girl who respects and understands the Ahlul Bait, and her Sunni community is requesting their own Alim to officiate the Nikah?

Bismihi ta'ala

Although the Nikah could be valid, if the correct standards for Islamic marriage contract is observed, it is not a good sign if they "insist" on having their own 'Alim to do it.

If you choose to marry someone outside of your Madhhab, it is very important to have strong ability to manage things. You must be strong enough to have to deal with the issues that arise, regarding your Shi'i beliefs, your rituals, how the house is managed, and the future children.

There are good examples of a Shi'i marrying a Sunni, and both observe the highest level for each other's beliefs. That is how it should be.

However, there are many bad examples and bitter experiences, which is why one must be extra cautious, and not just think about accepting their 'Alim to officiate the Nikah, but also what level of involvement, interference, influence, or intimidation they will have.

Marrying someone from another madhhab is permissible only if one has assurance they will not be influenced, for them and the children as well.

Sunni . Girl . Marriage . Community . Marriage

What should I do if I am marrying a Sunni girl who respects and understands the Ahlul Bait, and her Sunni community is requesting their own Alim to officiate the Nikah?

Sunni Shaikh can recite the Nikah because it is after all a Nikah contract recited by either Shia or Sunni or any one who knows Arabic properly.

The main point is to be sure that she will remain in the future respecting Ahlul Bayt (AS) and will teach your children the teachings of Ahlul Bayt (AS). You are responsible about the future if your children.

Girl . Noble . Lie . Marriage

Should I be truthful about my past to a prospective noble man who insists on honesty, even if it may lead to him rejecting me, or should I lie and marry him?

You don’t need to mention you past sins to any one but Allah Who is The only Forgiver. Disclosing your past sins to other than your Creator can harm you. Keep seeking forgiveness and pardon from Allah (SWT).

Can a financially independent Syed girl who wants to marry a compatible boy to avoid sin proceed with the marriage if she is certain that her father will reject the proposal due to an invalid reason related to not being Syed?

Father is not allowed to reject his daughter's marriage with a compatible believer when she wants to save herself from sin, just because of a cultural reason which is never a condition in Sharia.

Girl . Father . Marriage Proposal

What are legitimate reasons in Islam for a girl's father to decline a proposal from a boy?

Bismihi ta'ala

In this kind of situation, it is always best to have correct healthy communication with parents, to see the grounds, requirements and expectations the parents have towards who they want their child to get married to.

You might think the father's excuse is baseless, or unfair, but your assessment might be wrong.

The father is the guardian (wali), and he must act according to the interest of the daughter, which means if someone who is religious and has akhlaq, and is compatible to her (kuf`), proposes, and she expresses interest and approves, and everything is good from every other aspect, it is haram for him to refuse.

In Islam, it is called 'adhl (عضل), and it means the male guardian prohibiting marriage of women under his custody. And it is haram.

Girl . Nails . Salah (Prayers) . Wudu (Ablution)

Is it permissible for a girl to have acrylic nails on top of her nails while praying and performing ablution?

Bismihi ta'ala

Acrylic nails are considered as zeenah, and therefore haram to wear in public. Furthermore, it would prevent water from getting to her skin/nails, which would invalidate her wudhu' and ghusl.

Should she avoid these situations, like not show it in front of non-mahram, and put it on after wudhu', her prayer will be valid.

Girl . Consent . Father . Marriage

Bismihi ta'ala

It does not matter what madhhab or ideology the girl's father may be, her family should absolutely be involved, and her father must give consent for the marriage to be valid. Unless, of course, she meets the requirement of "balighah/rashidah".
