Why Islam allow ending an engagement if things don’t feel right
Islam completely allows us to end a relationship with the wrong person or family.
If you feel that the other person is not the right fit for you, or if you think that the other person’s family is not right for you or your family, Islam gives you the full right to leave that relationship.
Even today, we see many families tied to the wrong people, or many people trapped in relationships with the wrong people, unable to break free despite their best efforts, ruining their entire lives.
They constantly wish they could get out of this relationship or that something had happened when it was being arranged, which would have ended it.
But by then, it’s too late. If you’re experiencing these things and wish you wouldn’t get into the wrong relationship, this article will offer plenty of helpful advice to help you get back on track.
If you read and apply this in your life, believe me, you will succeed in breaking your or a loved one’s engagement, with the grace of Allah Tala.
Because Allah (SWT) has always taught us that if you are going to enter into a bad relationship or a relationship with a bad person, you must take this step with utmost caution.
The Quran also teaches us to stay away from bad people.

Signs an Engagement Should Be Broken
- Lack of compatibility: If you feel that the compatibility between you two is not similar, then you should stop moving forward and think about ending this relationship right now.
- Red flags or abusive behaviour: Sometimes, the other person’s nature is very abusive, and they speak ill of you and your family. In such a situation, you should protect your future and consider breaking off the engagement.
- Family disputes: If, after the engagement, there is any dispute between families, or if both families are not respecting each other, the engagement will be canceled.
- No peace of mind: After engagement, if you are not at peace or the person in front of you is not at peace with you, and you are having negative thoughts about the other person, then in such a situation, you should end this relationship right now.
- Differences in values, plans, or personality: If, after an engagement, you feel that the other person’s future plans are different from yours, that their personality doesn’t match yours, and that they have different values, then you should reconsider and break the engagement.
- Uneasiness after Istikhara: The most important thing is that after engagement, if the Istikhara of both of you is not right, then you should definitely think once because Istikhara is a sign from Allah Taala, which tells us what is right and what is not in our lives.
