Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. 1) It is permissible for a man to marry a woman older than him, be she twice his age.[1] The Prophet, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, himself married Khadeeja, raiyallahu ‘anhaa, when they were 25 and 40 years old respectively.[2] 2) You should ignore such dreams as they have no real relevance to your life and your true purpose in this world. Instead, focus your attention to pleasing Allah Ta’aalaa and serving His deen.
