Girl choosing to get married or study online

Q: A proposal has come for me but my parents are not calling them so that they can come to our home. They are waiting for their call. Meanwhile, they are signing me up for an online university. As I’m unmarried, I have alot of thoughts about marriage and I cannot stop thinking about it to the point that any mention of marriage makes me feel sad that I’m not part of this union with someone.

What should I pray to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) for? For the best solution, whether it is marriage or studying online, or should I beg Him for a good spouse?

A: It is compulsory for you to get married. Explain to your parents that it is compulsory and they will be sinful if they stop you or discourage you.

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