‘disobeying my parents’

| 0 comments

Q: Hello,
I just have accepted and followed Islam for few months afterI met my husband one year ago. I got married in the mosque with the witness of imam and two of our friends ( also muslim). But I just confessed the situation to my mom ( my dad did not allow me to have relationship with my husband at the first time when I introduced him). Now, my mom knew about my marriage and she wants to abandon me, my dad also wants the same because he did not like my husband. I felt so guilty because I got married without their consent. I dont know if i get sins for disobeying my parents and disappointing them.

A: If your parents were not muslim at the time of your Nikah (marriage,) however, if they were open to the idea of you marrying a muslim due to you being a muslim, but not open to you marrying this particular person due to issues relating to incompatibility, then in such a situation you should ask them for forgiveness.  If they were muslim at the time of your marriage, however, they could not find you a compatible spouse and this was your only alternative, then in such a situation your nikah would be valid, but you must still ask Allah for forgiveness, because you made your parents unhappy.From your first sentence, it appears you are no longer muslim. If there is anything we can do to assist in removing any doubts, kindly allow us to assist you.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
