Any man who commits the major sin of fornication with a married woman will be forbidden from marrying her for all his life. He can marry with another woman if she agrees but not that woman with whom he committed the crime of fornication while she was married even if she is now divorced or widow.

Employment . Spinster . Mahram . Hijab

As a recent university graduate and unmarried woman striving to please Allah (swt) and adhere to the teachings of Ahlulbayt (as), can I work due to pressure from my family for financial support, knowing it may involve interaction with non-Mahram men?

Paradise . Woman . Spinster

Is it allowed for a woman to remain unmarried in paradise if she does not like the opposite gender?

Paradise will provide fulfilling of every wish of the believers as we read in Quran (Sura 43, verse 71). Man and woman who will in Paradise will get all their wishes fulfilled. The point here is what you wish and think now is not necessarily same what you will think and wish in Paradise because our knowledge here in this world is limited, while our knowledge in Paradise will be much more. When we leave this world, our knowledge will increase and we will see many facts which we did not see in our worldly life. We read in Quran that the person after this world will be told (You were unaware about this fact then we removed away your veil and your sight now is ironic (Sura 50, verse 22).

What we think now is not necessarily the same what we will think in Paradise. After all, Allah (SWT) Has promised to Grant people of Paradise all their wishes.

Wassalam.

Girl . Brother . Family . Spinster . Dream . Marriage . Salah (Prayers)

I am an unmarried girl and am repeatedly seeing my best friend's brother in my dreams. I see myself happy in her family with her brother. I have never thought about being married to him but she has prayed for this a lot. How could I be seeing such dreams?

Well, people dream all sorts of things, some of them have meaning and some of them don't. If she is praying for this and you know she is praying for this, it makes sense that you might dream about it. Possibly your subconscious is thinking about it even if your conscious mind isn't.

If her brother has expressed an interest in marrying you, and it is a reasonable possibility for you to marry him, you could consider it. It is a blessing to have an opportunity to marry someone compatible whom you might have some trust in. It could be nice to marry a friend's brother (although keep in mind it can also change the nature of your friendship, especially if there are marriage problems). Of course there is no guarantee that the marriage would be happy but it is worth considering if you think he might be a compatible spouse. However you should make your decision based on the real life circumstances around you, not just the dreams.

If he hasn't expressed an interest in getting married then there is no reason to give it thought - he may or may not be ready to get married right now.

Anyway, you are lucky to have a friend who likes you so much that she wants you to be family. :)

Can a very pious and religious woman remain unmarried for life and live alone in her home?

Yes, it is permissible but not recommended. Marriage is the practice of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS). Those who deliberately leave marriage are not following the Sunnah of the Prophet(SAWA).

Lady Mariam (AS) did not marry for a valid reason but Lady Fatimah (AS) who is the greatest lady, did marry.

It is Makrouh (disliked) to deliberately abondon marriage.

It is also Makrouh to to live alone at home. Sleeping alone at home is Makrouh. Eating alone is Makrouh as well.
