Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh
From what I understand is that you obey your parents in that which is permissable... and do not obey them in that which not permissable.
There was a Friday Sermon given by our brother Abu Khadeejah concerning "Forced Marriages." It is available to purchase from the Salafibookstore and is VERY informative in regards to the subject. For more information please contact: CD@SalafiPublications.Com
assalaamu'aleykum wa rahmatullah. jazakallahuma khayr for taking the time to read my question.
im in a situation where my father is trying to marry me off to a man that doesnt practice the deen let alone follow the salafi da'awah. i know my father has loads of rights over me and obeying parents is a big part of the deen, so i want advice as to what i should do in this situation. do i obey my father even though im not interested in this brother or do i have the right to refuse (ps: me refusing results in my father physically abusing me). i know there is no such thing as forced marriages in islam but how do i come out of a situation like this. can i change my wali as my father is not looking for my best interests in terms of deen he only wants someone from our tribe and noble family. (my father doesnt pray and wouldnt mind me marrying someone who doesnt neither) can someone with knowledge about these issues get back to me please as soon as possible - if you want more detailed information then pm me inshallah and i will explain more.
