advertising for a marriage bureau
Question
We have been approached to advertise for the initiative below. Please advise if this is fine from an Islamic point of view.
Asian Marriage Bureau
This bureau started in 1997. All enrolmemts are screened and investigated, so no chancers may join, the fees are used for admin costs, and advertising costs, the bulk goes to advertising costs. Memberships are cancelled if any one misuses the services, with the wrong intentions plus a fine
Answer
You may advertise with the following statement.
In principle, one may assist unmarried people to get married. Such assistance is offered by the Marriage Bureau. However, in doing so, there should be no un-Islamic acts perpetrated through such assistance. If there is anything un-Islamic committed through such assistance, then that assistance will not be an act of virtue. It will be vice and evil.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
