Q: My question is if a brother has asked my father to marry me and my father likes him but wants us to get engaged for a period of time before marriage, what should I do. My father is my only wali and I would prefer to marry this man in order to make things halaal instead of possibly falling into haram. However I feel that my father is acting in a cultural way rather than Islamic. Could you please help me Insha Allah.
A: If your father is happy with the person proposing then get the nikaah done. This will guard you from any haraam activities.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
