As salam ou lakoum

InshAllah i'll try and get a fatwa..but i think that the same principles apply just as in being face to face with someone.

It's advisable to talk with someone with you acting as a wali, and inshAllah if they do meet the same principles apply so in a halal enviroment with a wali etc.

As for it being haram as long as it is carried out properly and according to the sunnah inshAllah the only difference is there is a screen between you. And it is known that mnay brothers and sisters on this forum have got married and alhamdulilah they are happy.

So just be safe don't fall into shaytans trap and as soon as you know you want to get to know someone get her wali involved A.S.A.P!!!! don't let shaytan ruin what could be.

i dunno if i'd feel comfertable with getting married over the net, ive been cheated on too many times, i think it would be smarter to be ther so you can keep an eye on them whether male or female, especially if they are male

true, but i dont know any muslim men that i live around, im in america we hav very few muslims, at least in my small racist, white-trash,redneck,bigiot,skinheaded,neo-nazi town

[Saint Poetry]

oh yea and the white guys at my school think they are black so they try to act gangster -rolls eyes- i hate wiggers

[bosnian_sis]

assalamu 3laikum!

it´s possible to find "the right person" on-line, because we live all over the world and sometimes there`s no chance to meet a good mu'min/mu'mina in real life, cause you live in an area where are no muslim people.

But we should act based on islamic rules and clean our niyya and be honest - inshaAllah ta'ala.

Well you can still be a muslim even if u live in a white, redneck bigot neo-nazi racist town:D

[Ibn-e-Muslim]

it is possible if right steps r taken

also online nikah can b done (sum bro/sis posted a fatwa days back on it)

[new_muslim]

I met my husband on the internet..an islamic matrimonial site that is...Alhamdulillah,he is the one...!

(but you HAVE to do lots of Istikharah if you are considering it, Allah will always guide you to what's best for you ...insha Allah)

[outlandish]

I used to think negative about internet marriages but a friend of mine found her husband on the net and is very happy
So I guess it comes down to how we handle it but one should be very carefull about it and approach it in the best islamic manner possible

if i could find a truly religious girl then i would do an internet marriage, otherwise i wouldnt do it, because i fear for adulterers. my heart has been shattered too many times, no more will i let it go on

Fear the adultry of the heart, ward off and be aware of the avenues of filth that can enter it, and your heart will not be shattered any longer.

Ameen :D

[Saint Poetry]

Ameen

[Saint Poetry]

i wonder of any sisters that live near by, i know of one in my school but she isnt exactly appealing, i mean yea she's beautiful, but thers something about her that bothers me. anyways im sure i can find someone

[talib ul islam]

I suppose you get to know the personality and likes/dislikes of your potential spouse through the internet as you would correspond more often and freely right? As apposed to the traditional route where you would have only 1 or 2 initial meetings, so is there less likelihood of later conflict after marriage?


So anybody here taken or are taking the internet route, as in matrimonial sites, or even a forum?:)

Would you recommend?

Any tips:)

I remember a thread not so long ago mentioning a few ummah members getting married, so it’s nothing new and seems to work:up:

[Raul-7]

true, but i dont know any muslim men that i live around, im in america we hav very few muslims, at least in my small racist, white-trash,redneck,bigiot,skinheaded,neo-nazi town

You get more good deeds. The harder it is for you to practice your religion the more the reward. :up:

[Abdelrhman]

:salams

I always thought you don't say ameen, the people who hear it say ameen.
Can anyone clarify on this?


And to stay on-topic: I've always though the western version of internet meeting up and dating and their marriage sites were very stupid. But the Muslim version (the ones that actually stick to the rules of Islam) are good I guess. I've never seen em or used em so I wouldn't know how reliable they are but I guess if everyone just tells the truth about themselves and stay within the rules of Islam it could work out.

[caribbeansistah]

Assalamualikum........hey i personally would not get married online.....cos who knows if the person on the other end is truly a sane person and not some wacko.......I"ve had two close friends who got married via some matrimonial site .......one of em been married 4 over ayr and the other afew months they seem to be happy :aku_mashallah:

I prefer to see the guy or have him reccomended .........
The type of guy i'm looking for i don't think i'll find him on any matrimonial site.......... i'll like to marry a practicing god-fearing muslim guy :coolbro: :coolbro: whose knowledgeble with regards to deen.......Gotta have tawwakul in Allah subhanahu wa ta aalah............

[Lost_Princess]

in my opinion i dont like it mainly because u dont really know who ur talking to or they are telling the truth :) they might be a pedofile

even I don't beleave on Internet marriages or love. Because we cant take a important decision of life on just chating on internet No way! :hidban: :hidban:

[new_muslim]

AA,
as i mentionned earlier- I met my husband over a matrimonial site (islamonline) and it worked, Alhamdulillah.

Being careful and finding out more about the potential spouse you have to do no matter whether u meet over the internet or not.

AA wh wb.

I always thought you don't say ameen, the people who hear it say ameen.
Can anyone clarify on this?:wswrwb:

Yeh thats wht I used to think too until I heard on tht lecture series called Dua the Weapon of the Believer by Yasir Qadhi , He said 'Ameen' basically means 'O Allah Respond to This Prayer' , so its like a 1 word Dua in itself :) , so we should say it after our Dua's as an additional Dua, it is also not an arabic word but comes from the nations before - Allah knows the origins of it, but the Prophet PBUH said 'The Jews are Jealous of your Ameen'

Also, the 'A' of the Ameen is 2 Haraka's long, as in the Alif...so it should be pronounced A(2 harakahs)meeen , the 'meen' can b long if you wish, sometimes people mistakenly say Aaaaaameeeeeen but if prolonged it should be Aameeeeeeen...hope tht helps insha'Allah :up:

Akhi.

that lecture is brilliant, so is the book in that title I'm sure a certian sister would agree :D

[Akhi.]

Completely Agree, Yasir Qadhi (May Allah bless and reward him for his works..Aameen) and the Weapon of the Believer series really excellent Masha'Allah

Assalaam aleikum

I met my husband online and so did my little sister. I think its the new way for converts to find their soul mate:D

[Al Qadr]

I set up a bro n sis from online, they got married in spring, n the sis is pregnant now masha'Allah :)
It doesnt wotk for all, butit can for some, same as arranged marriage, n other ways of meeting marriage partners

[`asiya]

I have one word to say in all this

"walli"

no man or woman should be chatting and gettin to "know" each other whether in person, on the net, on the phone, by e-mail, or in any other circumstance alone, and any man who asks a woman for marriage without saying straight off that he wants to contact her Muslim walli is not even worth considering marrying. Everything should be done through the walli, then no fitnah can arise insha Allah, and any true muslim walli will make sure this person is who they say they are, and will make sure he is of good character. and for those whoose walli is not their mahram the same applies!! u cant be alone with your walli or be chatting to him without a mahram present either.

[islamirama]

Assalaam aleikum

The key is to keep the conversations islamic and within islamic limits. And when/if interests develop in each other then best to be even more cautious and have a wali involved. For converts, it's best to have a Muslim friend involved for safety if wali not available. :)

I'm sure there's enough people out there wanting to get shadied without people "loking" for spouces online, personally i just think its a bit :wacko:
but meh, whatever make's you happy....

[Metroid]

Internet meeting is even more difficult because people tend to be more picky than personal meeting. As matter of fact, you can spend months not even finding the ides one.
Keep in mind that not all internet users are truthful in their profiles

[Esha]

don't you think maybe for some ppl its the only option ,to look for a partner .maybe they don't have any other way..

its not easy when you get to a certain age and your family/parents arnt looking for you..

there are ppl who got married from these sites an are happily married.:)



sorry guys think i was writing in a different topic :o:o:o...

[$HugoBoss$]

You guys might find it funny or stupid but several people get married online daily while you sit at home and wait for someone. Seems like they are in a much better position than a lot of the people here :p
