Is it Haraam to fall in love with a women.

[Suhail]

Assalamualaikum


I feel i must reply to brother waheeds situation


ok so u like a girl...fair enough u start seeing the girl , you start going out etc at this stage she has become your girlfriend , now obviously islamically this is wrong but in the west most muslims unfortunetelly have gf , i hve one to.......now must assume u 2 start going out more and more and u fall it love ........now at this stage i would recommend getting married as soon as possible ....now if she is a muslim that is good as u can go to the parents and sort marriage out etc...if she isnt then well its going to be a long struggle .


So to clarify then if u have a muslim girlfriend (unlawful) and u love her then get married to her as soon as possible ....to save urself from ne further sins


And if u plan to get married in a couple of years time then going out with her in the mean time islamically will be unlawful again.


So my advise to u..... 1. Not haraam to love some one as long as you express it islamically


2. Having a girlfriend is haraam even if u love her and she is a muslim


3. Forced marriages "MY OPINION" if u dont like her divorce her until u find sum 1 u do like .<i>please note this last point is strictly my opinion and it is not an opinion based on ne thing islamic , and Islam Message and ne of its members cannot be held responsible for ne persons acting on this unislamic opinion of one of its members</i>


Thank You
