Reading about marriage in a religion on your own is entirely different from teaching yourself a language. Example- how is reading the replies different from reading it in a book?


shadha-
I think its perfectly ok if the brother is asking us questions, especially since he has recently accepted Islam and some of this stuff might be new to him.

Wolfn: You can visit you're local masjid and speak to your Imam about getting married because most of our community centers have a matrimonial section. He can pass the word around and he will tell you about some of the sisters who are also looking. From there, you sort out the ones you are interested in and kindly decline the ones who might not seem fit. All of the prospects are involved with the masjid's matrimonial system have understanding that the two people are introduced for the intentions marriage.

May Allah make it easy for you, Ameen.
