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. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

First of all, you have to know that marriage is a long journey. Many matters that require wisdom and careful consideration could occur during marriage, therefore they should not be solved with affections, but they require a constructive insight. Islam has urged people to consider religion and good moral standards when seeking a wife. The Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) said: "Choose the religious woman, you will prosper." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] Because the religious woman is expected to preserve the right of her Lord and the right of her husband on her. Therefore, if it is confirmed that this woman is on good moral standards and religion, then try to convince your family about getting married to her. If this is achieved, all Perfect Praise be to Allaah, otherwise you have to stop thinking about her, and repel any thoughts about this matter. Furthermore, it is not permissible for you to establish any relationship with her. By the same token, we remind you that usually the family considers what is more righteous and better for their son. It appears from what you have stated about this woman, that it is more appropriate to stay away from her and stop thinking of getting married to her. She lives far away from you, and you are not sure about her chastity. You have mentioned that she has a relationship with another man; just this fact is enough for fleeing from her. You cannot be sure that if you marry her, her relationship with the other men will stop. Thus, one cannot be safe from the consequences of that. Allaah says (interpretation of meaning): {It may be that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allaah knows but you do not know.}[2:216].

Finally, we draw your attention to two important matters:

Firstly, it is not permissible in principle for a Muslim man to establish an affectionate relationship with a marriageable woman, as that is a cause of temptation. Secondly, saying that you cannot live without her, is just an illusion and not a reality. You lived without knowing her before, and it is not appropriate for a man of sound conscious to be affectionately attached to the love of a woman, whatever her situation is. Moreover, it is not appropriate for a man or a woman to be so attached to anything of this temporary worldly life.

Allaah knows best.
