Illicit relations result in remorse and regret

15-12-2002 | IslamWeb

Question:

I met one boy on net and he wants to marry me but I can't do it because I can't hurt my parents, but he is saying that he will commit suicide and in this way his whole home will be destroyed because of me. Please help me what should I do. Should I talk to my parents? Cause I don't want to hurt my parents and I also don't want to destroy a home.

Answer:

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

The relation you established with this man is unlawful and it is a Satan whisper. His claim to kill himself, if you do not marry him, is a clear evidence of his bad character, stupidity and little piety. It is also a proof that he is a liar and a deceiver. Love through Internet has never had such impact.
Now, you should repent to Allah from this illicit relation. You should feel deeply sorry for having indulged in such a relation.
Finally, have a firm resolution never to make such a relation in the future.
