I have feelings for someone who has brought me closer to Allah and the Ahlulbayt. He has been meeting my parents' requirements for three years by moving abroad and securing a job, yet they disapprove because he is not wealthy. What should I do?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You can try to convince them that wealth is not a valid condition for happy marriage. Marriage conditions are good faith religion and good manners. It might take you time to convince your parents mainly your father, but you have to try your best.

You can also request good persons who are respected by your parents to try to talk to your parents to convince them.

Is it permissible for a 37-year-old divorced woman to occasionally masturbate to avoid sin, particularly in a country where finding a Muslim husband is difficult and considering the hormonal changes affecting her menstrual cycle?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No. Masturbation is a sinful act and we are not allowed to commit it under such excuse. Masturbation itself is itself a sinful act, and it can never be permitted for a Muslim female. There are many things mentioned in Quran and authentic Hadeeth which help avoiding falling in sexual sinful acts like:1. Fasting which helps a lot in controlling sexual urge. 2. Avoiding things which increase sexual urge like photos, films, music and songs.

3. Remembering the pious females who are the best models for us like lady Fatima, lady Mariam, lady Zainab, lady Ummul Baneen and other pious females.

4. Remembering the punishment of the sins and great reward of the piousness in this life and hereafter.

Wassalam.
