Fatawa on Marrying a daughter of a Family Planning Officer
I am intending to propose marriage to a practicing muslim woman. I am satisfied with her deen, she is family oriented, homely and maintains Purdah. Only problem is, both her parents work in the family planning department of the government. From their savings, they also purchased two shops from where they get rent.
Question-1) Since their job entails them to promote both temporary and permanent contraception, and thus their income may be mixed, can her parents income be classified overall halal?
P.S: they also receive income as rent from their shops.
Question-2) If I marry her, can I accept invitation at her parents house?
Jazak’Allah Khairun
