Should I marry a police officer?
Dear questioner,
Thank you for your important question.
May Allah, Most High, reward you for your desire to increase in knowledge.
Getting married is a major step in life. All major and even minor steps in life should be taken with two procedures; seeking council from creation and seeking guidance from Allah, Most High. These two procedures are known as Istishara and Istikhara.
In your particular case, consult yourself. Is the fact that your potential husband is a police officer something you are okay with? If the answer is yes, then continue to ask about this individual and seek guidance from Allah, Most High, through the prayer of seeking guidance.
If the answer is no, then let the potential spouse know about your sentiment. One should never go into a relationship with a red light. A red light is something that you are absolutely not comfortable with.
Many people go into marriage assuming that their partner will eventually change. This is an assumption that could prove detrimental later down the road.
