Question:
Among the questions that reached us in this episode is one from a brother who says: Honorable Shaykh, I have been looking for a woman to marry for years, and I have not found one yet. I stipulate that she must be religious and possess some physical characteristics I desire. Is there any sin on me for that?
Answer:
Do not be too strict with the descriptions. As for the wife, if she is righteous in her religion and upright in obedience to Allah, then there is good in her, if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
