Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Those who are rejected when they propose to a girl: is it a righteous shaykh, other than the one who does not maintain the prayer with the congregation?
Answer:
The one who is rejected is the one who is not a suitable match for the woman. We do not use that term. Because he is deficient in his religion, or deficient in his manliness and trustworthiness. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1084Da'if (Darussalam) So the one who is not holding fast to his religion, but rather is negligent in his religion, neglecting some of the obligatory duties, or committing some of the forbidden acts and persisting in them, is not a suitable match for the Muslim woman. Likewise, the one of bad character who treats the woman badly and deals with her in a harsh, bad manner, is not a suitable match for the woman. Yes?

When someone whose religion and character you are pleased with proposes to (someone under the care) of one of you, then marry to him.
إذا أتاكم من ترضون دينه وخلقه فزوجوه
