If a chaste girl chooses not to marry, despite being respectful to her parents and financially independent, is she considered to be sinning because it causes her parents sadness?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

She is not obliged or bound to marry if she has valid reasons to refrain from marriage, but she must keep her parents' respect and never cause them or any one of them any sort of disrespect or sadness.

Should a girl marry a man she has feelings for and a history with, despite his weak religious commitment, especially if her Istikhara and dreams suggest positivity? She has repented and seeks a partner with strong Islamic values but struggles to let go.
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

She should consider that the most important criteria for a good life partner is religion and manners. Weak religious commitments can lead to possible dangerous results in the life especially after few years. What can stop him in the future from looking for other affairs if his religious commitments are weak?

I don't advise her to marry a person who is weak in his faith and religious practice even if she has feelings and history with him. The feelings will never remain for long if there is no authenticity in faith and trust in religion.

Is curling eyelashes considered allowed, and are girls permitted to wear rings and grow their nails long?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Muslim female is responsible not to expose her beauty in front of non Mahram men. Curling eyelashes is allowed but it is should Muslim female should not expose her beauty in front of non Mahram men. Wearing rings is also allowed provided it should not be exposed to non Mahram men. Growing long nails is no exception but nails should not cover the tips of fingered preventing water from reaching to the tips of the figures. If nails prevent water from reaching to any part of the figure, Wudhu and Ghusl will be then invalid.

Is it considered valid if a girl marries without her father's permission to avoid sin, when he refuses a proposal from a morally good and equal status believer, without valid reason, due to negative cultural thoughts about marrying a non-Syed?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

I advise you to refer to your Marje’ of Taqleed and explain to him the reasons of father’s refusal then take his advise as a Marje’ of Taqleed.

You can contact your Marje’ of Taqleed by email to telephone.
