Question
salam. hope u r in the best of health..
i used to sms a guy who loves me, i also promised him that when i finish school, i will see if i can marry him. But now that am realising what i did was wrong, i stoppes sending him message. and i also know that he is a smoker and is not a good guy in general. Should i keep my promise although he is not a good muslim at all?
I ask Allah to forgive me for my wrongdoings and to help me tostay on the right path.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
You are not obliged to keep your promise to marry that young man; rather, you should not marry him since he is not pleasing in his religion and moral conduct.
We ask Allaah to keep you firm on the right path and guide you to the best of your affairs and bless you with a pious husband who would help you in obeying Allaah and with whom you would be happy in this life and the Hereafter.
Allaah Knows best.
