I have some issue that's going to make me get married early I'm 18 will be 19 in few days so my parent said I should look for someone and get to know her for 2 to 3 years and then get married. So, I started using some dating apps and I feel depressed because I feel like I\\\'m displeasing Allah because the girls on this dating app are not properly dressed, they are dressed kinda naked both on Muslim dating app and the normal ones. I\\\'m really confused I don\\\'t know what to do I don\\\'t want to displease Allah I don\\\'t know if you can help me out because I feel depressed kinda frustrated.
Jazak Allah kairan
Answer
When you are thinking about getting married soon, start with an introspection.
What are the qualities and attributes that you are looking for in your spouse?
What are the main “must-haves” and the ones that are critical and that you do not want to compromise on?
Make sure that you are aware of the difference between wanting and needing something, as you may want something that is bad for you.
If you have outlined the main points, that will help you narrow your search. You can easily filter out the profiles that contradict your preferences for modesty and piety, for example.
Maintaining Islamic etiquette with the opposite gender on dating apps is important.
What else is there to do to find a suitable partner and avoid disappointment during the online search?
