Is it allowed to make dua in my prayers for the name of the girl I want to marry.
Answer
Du'aa is the essence of Ibaadat. We are encouraged to make Du'aa for all our needs. It is also encouraged to make Du'aa for others.
Du'aa is also a means of ones spiritual upliftment. If you are already proposed to the girl and is certain to marry her and your making Du'aa for her is not just motivated by your passion for the girl, then you may make Du 'aa for her. If you are not proposed to the girl and you are motivated by your passion for the girl, then that is a shortcoming and detrimental to your spirituality. In such a situation, you should not think or make Du'aa for the girl.

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.
