Obey your dad and stop relation with your boyfriend

Question

Last year when I started college I meet a boy and we started going out. Now we have been together for 10 months but during this time my dad found out 8 months into the relationships. My dad stopped me from going to college and then my mum spoke to him and he let me go back again. Me and my boyfriend decided to sleep together so that we will be together for sure and we didn't want to be split up again because during the time when I didn't go to college he would come everyday to see if I am okay. My dad found out what we have done and when my boyfriend wanted to come so we get engaged my dad didn't let him to come. Now we are still together cause we really love each other but my dad doesn't know and my boyfriend is with me through out the whole thing. Now I am not allowed to go to college but I want to carry on with my education as I already wasted a year. Now I still talking to him and my dad doesn't know. What do I do to get my life back and talk to my dad?

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.

Mixing with opposite sex is totally forbidden in Islam. See our Fataawa: 85956 and 88220.

Committing illegal sex is among the major great sins; one has to repent from that as soon as possible. The details are mentioned in our Fataawa: 86631 and 84637.

You have to obey your father and listen to him. You are not allowed to marry without his permissions as we mentioned our Fataawa: 84935 and 85057.

Allaah Knows best.
