My Husband Is Dead. Should I Remarry?

Answered by Ustadh Salman Younas

Question: One and half years have passed since my husband passed away. I’m in my mid-30’s and have 3 sons. I have no financial issues and no other family issues so should I remarry or not?

Answer: assalamu alaykum

The decision to remarry or not is completely up to you. No one can make the decision for you. You should look at your own personal situation, the needs of your children, and other relevant considerations to see what is the best course of action for you and your family. You may also consult people whose advice and insight you value.

Here, I would recommend performing the istikhara prayer, as well, which you can read more about on the following link:
