Question

1. Is it a bidat to open lights at maghrib time? 2.should i pray allah to have me married as soon as possible or how should i do dua? i am also thinking about going to alimah school what should i do? do dua for marriage or alimah course? kazakallah

Answer

1) What do you mean by opening lights at Maghrib time? Is it a custom and do people regard that as compulsory?
2) We advise you make Mashwara (consult) and Istikhaara (seek Divine guidance - attached) in making a decision. With that, you should make Du'aa to Allah Ta'ala to guide you towards whatever is best for you - doing Aalimah course or marrying before that.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
