Advice for every girl waiting for the ideal husband

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Shaykh Salih, perhaps in the replay there is benefit if a sister of yours in Allah asked you for a list of conditions she should set when she decides to get married. What would you tell her?

Answer:
If she is the one to take the initiative, we tell her to take the initiative, good, and not to delay marriage, good, on the pretext of studies, or on the pretext of a job, or on the pretext of finding the ideal husband. All these excuses should not be in the way of marriage. Good. She should take the initiative to get married. The second matter is that she should choose a suitable husband for her, suitable to her in his religion and his character. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When there comes to you one whose religion and trustworthiness you are pleased with, marry her to him. If you do not, there will be a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) on earth and great corruption in religion." Suitable in his religion means that he is upright in religion, sound in his creed, preserves the prayer, and holds fast to his religion. And as we mentioned, even if he is not perfect in every respect, and if he has some shortcomings, some deficiency. Yes. This can be made up, with the permission of Allah, in the future. This is what I advise every Muslim girl to do. Good.
And the matter that is necessary is to adhere to chastity, modesty, and covering. Good. And to be well-mannered according to the manners of the Shari'ah, and to be cautious of what many girls have fallen into at this time, such as indecency and lack of modesty, or little modesty, and roaming in the markets, and the like of that which is not befitting the Muslim girl. Yes.
